Yuanchun of the Red Chamber is not a virtuous concubine

"It's really cold today. Who would have thought that it would suddenly snow heavily. Fourth brother, come in and hide. Is there any hot tea? Have a cup or two to warm your stomach. It's very cold today." Five Elder brother got out of the carriage and entered the gatehouse and rubbed his hands in the cold. Because he was young, he didn’t ride the horse back, and his body was still warm. He couldn’t stand the cold as soon as he got out of the carriage, and ran directly into the gatehouse.

But the fourth elder brother didn't like to let the third elder brother ride the horse alone, as if the two brothers isolated him, at least he accompanied the third elder brother to ride back together, and then it snowed again, and it was colder than the fifth elder brother I don't know how many times, they just saved their face and didn't get into the carriage. Now they got off the horse stiffly, stomped their feet slowly, and then entered the concierge. The fourth elder brother knew that the fifth elder brother made the tea for him Yelling, his face was frozen with no expression, but his eyes were warm.

"Third brother, come in and sweep away the falling snow, change your cloak before going to greet Li Eniang, fifth brother also asked someone to prepare hot tea, it's not too late to leave after warming up." Fourth elder brother smiled to third elder brother Brother said, he was also afraid that the third brother would think too much, so he wanted to take care of the fifth brother.

The third elder brother didn't hear the fifth elder brother's words from far away, he just nodded his head and came in. There was a small stove in the room, and there was hot tea, but there was no masters to drink it. That's good, as long as it's hot water right now, I don't care about being so particular about it. The third elder brother was thinking about Li Fangfujin, so he frowned and poured a cup. It was said to be a clean cloak, but it was not good enough. The third elder brother was unwilling to let it go, but just swept the snow on his shoulders without even changing the cloak, and said, "It's already this hour, I'm afraid that Er Niang will wait for you. I'm in a hurry, I'll go back first."

Didn't Hong'er come back right away, or did she just wait here for the elder brothers to come back, seeing the elder brothers drinking hot tea, the third elder brother didn't stay any longer, and left, Hong'er listened to some movement behind Son, just came out from the back, and came forward to say hello, "Slaves, my brothers, say hello."

"Why is Sister Hong here? Hurry up and get up." The fourth elder brother thought that there were only a few eunuchs at the concierge, but he didn't expect that there were other people behind, and it was Hong'er who needed to be used by Er Niang.

After Hong'er got up, she said with a smile on her face, "Because of the sudden heavy snowfall, Ci Fujin was a little worried that my brothers would be freezing, so he asked the servants to wait here, and the cloaks newly made this year are also good. Yes, take it here and put it on warmly for the elder brothers. He also said that there is no need to go there today to say hello. The snow doesn't know when it will stop. Let the elder brothers go back to the yard and set it up first. I have already ordered people to prepare it. Get hot water, warm up first and then talk about other things, I said I am not in a hurry to talk, I will have time to talk with me in the future."

While talking, Hong'er waited for the two elder brothers to take off their cloaks and put on new cloaks. The warmth made the fifth elder brother breathe a sigh of relief, but the fourth elder brother was old and cared about face very much. He restrained himself, but there was still a smile on his face, which showed that he was very happy to know that Er Niang was thinking about them.

"Sister Hong'er has been waiting here for a while?" Fifth elder brother asked casually.

"It didn't take long. Brothers came back quickly. After all, the concierge is a bit rough. The servants sent someone to prepare the sedan chair. Brothers, let's go back and rest first. The servants should go back and answer."

The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother didn't want to go back obediently, and insisted on seeing Er Niang first, Hong'er is a servant after all, and they couldn't stop the elder brothers from making a decision.

"Er Niang! We're back."

Yuan Chun knew it was Xiao Wu when he heard the movement, and stood up to greet him with a smile, "Why are you here at this time? Didn't I tell you to go down and rest first? I don't know why you came here in such a cold day. with your own body."

After not seeing his son for a while, Yuan Chun felt that Xiaosi had grown a bit, so he also took Xiaosi with one hand and took Xiaowu into the house, "Hurry up, serve bowls of ginger soup to the fourth and fifth elder brothers to warm them up." body."

"Don't be angry, Er Niang, we also missed Er Niang, so we thought about coming here, Er Niang, I am good, and come back from the carriage, can you not drink ginger soup?" Fifth elder brother said sweetly .

Even the introverted fourth elder brother also seemed to agree. Yuan Chun knew that the two brothers hated the taste of ginger soup the most, but this time he couldn't spoil them. Be obedient, and you won't be sick tomorrow and drink more bitter medicinal soup."

The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother frowned and drank the ginger soup. They were also sweating hotly. I knew you wouldn't be obedient. Fortunately, Er Niang has everything here, so let's go take a hot bath first, and when you come out, Er Niang has someone make delicious food for you, all of which you love Let’s go quickly.”

Although the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother already have their own yards, Yuanchun also prepared some clothes for the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother. He readily agreed, "Er Niang hasn't had dinner yet, I think Er Niang is waiting for us, after taking a bath, my brother and I can come and eat with Er Niang?"

Yuan Chun nodded and said, "Okay, go quickly, Er Niang is waiting for you."

The older the fourth elder brother grows up, he is also restrained in expressing his feelings.It's not as straightforward as the fifth elder brother, because they knew that Yuan Chun would wait for them, they didn't want to disappoint Er Niang, and they were looking forward to meeting Er Niang, so they came here even if they knew it was Er Niang's order, they always knew that Er Niang Mother loves them and cannot bear their suffering. They also want to repay Er Niang's love for them, and cannot bear to disappoint Er Niang's expectations.

Li Fangfujin saw the third elder brother who rushed over and was also busy, changing clothes, washing and asking for warmth. Shi, Bai, are you guilty?"

The two concubines were a little ignorant, they didn't know what they had done wrong, but they just knelt down and confessed, "The concubine is guilty."

Originally, Li Fangfujin had a concubine's room because of his son. There should be people who know the cold and the hot in the affairs of this house. Divorced the relationship between mother and child, but didn't intervene. After hearing her third elder brother's arrangement to leave her, he came back immediately after blowing a cold wind. The cloak was also the one she gave Son, no one made any arrangements when I returned to the mansion.

Seeing his son in such a mess, Li Fangfujin almost fainted.

At this moment, when I saw them ignorantly looking at them, I didn't know where I was wrong, so I could only wake them up angrily, "I asked you to follow to take care of the third elder brother. How can I let the third elder brother ride back all the way?" , I don’t know how to persuade the third elder brother? Was the third elder brother weak when he was a child? It’s hard to raise him so big, in case something happens. Can you bear it?”

The Zhong family and the Bai family were also in a difficult situation. Their status was low, and the third elder brother insisted on going his own way. Although they treat their masters well, they don't have anything extra in their hands. Apart from taking care of the house, how can they take care of others, and no one teaches concubines to do this, because they all know that next year's birthday Now that Fujin has entered the mansion, naturally he dare not overstep his bounds and do more mistakes. How dare they take care of San elder brother's affairs.

Li Fangfujin looked at their embarrassing appearance, and also had a headache while holding his forehead. Knowing that his son would be healed soon, he waved his hands and shouted, "Get up, think about it in the future, and let the third elder brother freeze, I will ask you , go down first, don't let the third elder brother see it."

Zhong and Bai looked at each other in a panic, Li Fangfujin knew that the third elder brother was soft-hearted, so naturally he couldn't let him know, if he saw it, he would be sympathetic, and if this was the case, Li Fangfujin would be angry again, wait and see After seeing no one, Li Fangfujin sighed, "After all, it's not Yifujin, and I don't dare to care about the third elder brother. It's okay to be a servant. What I want is obedience. As long as I have a child, Fangfujin But it’s a bit off.”

The third elder brother also just heard the ending, so he didn't think too much, he just saw Er Niang's complexion, and asked, "But Nian Fang Fujin made Er Niang angry again?"

In the past, Li Fangfujin also seldom complained in front of the third elder brother that Fang Fujin looked down on people during the New Year, but later on, the third elder brother grew up, and it was not good for Li Fangfujin to let the third elder brother listen more to the affairs in the backyard, so as not to change his temperament .

Hearing the mention of the third elder brother at this moment, his complexion did not change, he just twitched his mouth and said, "You heard wrong, Nian Fujin is now bedridden, how can I be angry, and now my son is fighting No, no one in this mansion will be angry with me, Er Niang, I just thought that my son will get married next year, Er Niang felt happy for a while, and I don't know if Dong E's family will think highly of me, Er Niang, that's all. .”

The third elder brother has met Dong E's family, and he was quite looking forward to hearing about the marriage. Knowing that Er Niang was a little worried, he comforted Li Fangfujin and said, "Don't worry, Er Niang, Dong E's family, I have met you." Yes, from a distance, I can see her temperament is gentle and virtuous. Even my elder sister has seen it, saying that Dong E's family also takes good care of her younger brothers and sisters at home. Such a person is also a person who will be filial to the elders. After the son gets married, he will take her to be filial. Erniang, my son will study harder and win honor for Erniang."

Li Fangfujin didn't feel comforted, but felt an inexplicable sense of irritability, and didn't like his future daughter-in-law much.
