Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

However, he said that today, the emperor gave a decree of kindness, and the imperial concubine could go home to visit relatives.It didn't take long for the Rongguo Mansion to receive the letter. This is naturally a matter of great grace and great joy.

Jia Yingchun had just had dinner that day, and a girl came to invite her, saying that Mrs. Xing had something to ask.Jia Yingchun was going to Jia Tanchun's room, but after hearing this, she had to change the way and go to Mrs. Xing's room.

Mrs. Xing sat on the big kang, wearing only a mouse-gray dress, and a stone-green horse-face skirt tied under her head.Because at home, there is only a homely bun, no gold and jade decorations, only a silver hairpin in the shape of a luan bird.Those who wear regular makeup and casual clothes, although they are extraordinarily dignified, don't wear color after all, and feel even more gloomy.

Jia Yingchun came in from the outside, because she asked, "Is my mother inside, I'm here to say hello to my mother."

A girl standing beside the curtain said: "The wife is inside, the girl just go in."

Then Jia Yingchun went into the inner room. Mrs. Xing saw her coming in. Recently, her body has been stretched. Although she is dressed plainly, she is young and looks good. She looks like a painting.

She asked An to see her, but Mrs. Xing asked her to come forward and sit down.Mrs. Xing's close maid, Caixie[1], also performed the colorful dance[2]. One moved an embroidered stool, and the other came over with tea.

Cai Wu smiled and said, "Miss, drink tea."

Jia Yingchun nodded and took the tea to eat, then heard Mrs. Xing say: "Our mansion has just accepted the decree, saying that the lady in the palace is coming back to visit her relatives. I think all of you sisters and sisters know about this. The lady is coming back." , this is a big deal, and it's also Ron. You are the oldest of the sisters, so you should know how to behave. It's fine for you to get together and mess around on weekdays. The old lady is free. I went. Now that you are growing up, you should know some of the dignity of a daughter's family. Although you are not raised by me, you are the master's daughter after all. This is the only daughter who counts, so I should teach you the rules. In order to prevent you from leaving the court in the future Well, let the outsiders laugh at our Rongfu, who can't even teach a girl well. Even if she is a concubine, she should be better than those prostitutes from small families."

These words made Yingchun's face flush, and she was cowardly, she would never talk back, she just lowered her head, buttoned up a grain on her skirt, and said sullenly: "What Madam said is true, I listened to it." madam."

Mrs. Xing said again: "The master mentioned it to me two days ago, saying that the old lady of the Sun family likes you very much. By coincidence, the whole family of the eldest house has come here, and the eldest son of the eldest house is matching you. I will go back to the master, and I will It's a very good thing, but our second girl is too stupid, I'm afraid she won't like it if she wants to please her. The master said, we don't need to worry about these things, they are asking for it. When I think about it, it's just That's the reason. I went to the old lady's house today, and the old lady said that Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun's family came over this morning, and presented a table gift and an engagement item. Because she said that this matter was just Make a decision, don't make it public, and don't tell others, only the elders in the family know." As he said, he turned his head and said, "Caixi, bring that object."

After all, Jia Yingchun is very young and has never encountered such a thing.Mrs. Xing only relied on her own ease to speak bluntly. She bowed her head when she spoke, her heart was in a mess, her face was flushed, her palms were wet, and she couldn't say a word.

That's nothing more than a gift, it's just some satin.But it was the ordered object, a small and exquisite yellow rosewood box with patterns of flowers and plants carved on it.Caixiu opened the lid of the box, unfolded it and looked at it with Jia Yingchun.

Seeing that Yingchun just lowered her head and refused to look at it, Caixie laughed and said, "Girl, this is a matter of life, at least raise your head and have a look."

Yingchun moved her body, raised her head and took a look.I saw a flat white jade hairpin inside. I only took one look at it, and then hurriedly lowered my head when I didn't see anything else.

Mrs. Xing took a sip of tea, and the old god was asking: "The gift they sent was a coincidence, and the pattern on it was the winter jasmine flower. They haven't asked about Ming[3]'s incident, so they shouldn't know .I don’t know, if I send this one here, it can be regarded as a good match from heaven. I look at that jade and it looks moist, do you look good? Do you like it?”

Yingchun's face was hot, her mouth seemed to be stuffed with a soft handkerchief, it was very rotten, and she just said nana: "Father and mother go to see the old lady and think it's good, then it's good."

"It's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Even if it's what you say, it's up to you to be happy. If you go out and have a bad life, I'm afraid you will blame me and your father instead."

Yingchun shook her head and said, "It's all according to Madam."

This is what Mrs. Xing wanted to hear, she nodded immediately, and ordered Caixiu: "Cover it up, and let Siqi keep it for her girl."

Caixiu closed the lid of the box and handed the box to Siqi.Siqi just stretched out his hand to take it, then he heard a girl outside say: "Third Master, wait a little bit, Second Miss is in the wife's room..."

It was Jia Cong who came.The girl called him to stop, thinking that Jia Yingchun and Mrs. Xing were talking in there, so it's not good to disturb him.When Jia Cong heard this, he felt that this girl looked down on him, so he shouted: "What's wrong with the second sister in there, I can't see her? It's a good thing we are all the same person, who is more noble than the other?"

While speaking, he opened the curtain and came in.

He was rampant outside, but when he saw Mrs. Xing, he didn't hear a sound, he greeted him honestly, and said: "Greetings to mother."

Mrs. Xing hated him for being mischievous, so she said with a cold face: "Where did you go to get angry again? You are such a big person, and you don't know the rules! Why are you talking about your second sister outside for no reason! You commit another crime again! , I should tell the master and tell him to give you a meal!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Yingchun, "You too. You don't have much to say. You're like a piece of wood. You don't have the dignity of a rich lady. I've already told you everything. When you get down, those things should be ready. Go ahead." .”

Jia Yingchun got up and came out.

Siqi held the box and followed Yingchun, complaining in his mouth: "If you don't understand, you will be destined for life. Girl, at least ask who the Sun family is, and what the eldest son of the Sun family looks like." It’s only a sentence or a half, and it’s better than the present.”

Jia Yingchun only said: "I'm not in a hurry, but you are more anxious than me."

"It's about the rest of my life, but why am I not worried about the girl?" Yingchun was at the top of the list, and Siqi knew that when Yuanchun came down, it was Yingchun.It's just that no matter how fast it is, I expected it to be made after the ceremony, but I didn't expect it to be made a long time ago.

"Whether it's good or not, it's up to my parents. I don't dare to say anything." Jia Yingchun's eyes were confused, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

But it is said that Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun's family had lunch in Jia's mansion, and then went back to Sun's house.It used to be the second house of the Sun family who occupied the main house, but now that Sun's family has returned to Beijing, they naturally move out and still live in the house of the head house.

Mrs. Sun helped Mrs. Sun into the Chuihua Gate. Because Mrs. Sun said she wanted to visit her eldest grandson, the two went to Zaiyingyuan where the eldest son of the eldest son lived.Kankan walked to the gate of the courtyard, and saw a girl running out in small steps.

Mrs. Sun hurriedly stopped, and said: "What's the rush? Look at you, where did you learn the rules?"

The girl hurriedly greeted the two of them, and said: "It's really not that the servant is reckless, it's just because the uncle just said that he wants to eat the sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup made in the kitchen, and the servant is in a hurry to pass the message to the kitchen."

The eldest lady of the Sun family heard this, looked at each other with the old lady of the Sun family, and hurriedly waved her to go.

The eldest son of the grandson's family is called Sun Shaoxian. He is indeed outstanding in literary talent and heroic, but he is weak and sick, and he suffers from three diseases and two pains, which is worrying.When I was in Yangzhou early in the morning, it was even worse, but when I returned to the capital, I don’t know if it was a twists and turns on the road or something, it got worse.Recently, I have been suffering from severe illness, lying on the bed, and have been unable to get out of bed for half a month.I don't know how many good doctors I have invited and how many bitter medicines I have taken, but I still don't get better.People are becoming more and more lazy, and they refuse to eat anything.

The eldest wife of the Sun family didn't know how anxious she was, and she didn't want to believe the words of the monk with the scarred head.Seeing that his son was dying on the bed, he treated the dead horse as a living horse doctor.The last time Mrs. Sun went to Jia's mansion to see Jia Yingchun. When she came back, Sun Shaoxian was really better. She could eat something and sit on the pillow.

The eldest wife of the Sun family was still dubious, she didn't expect that this time she went to Jia's mansion to make a verbal appointment, and when she came back this time, Sun Shaoxian would be able to ask for something to eat.

She felt sad and happy in her heart, she only hated that the second girl from Jia's mansion was too young, if not, she would bring her back immediately with three matchmakers and six hires.

The two entered the back room, and they saw Sun Shaoxian leaning on the big pillow in his gown, and ordered someone to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone while talking.Looking at the flushed complexion, it is very radiant.

The eldest wife of the Sun family rushed forward to hold him down, and said in her mouth: "It's always been a long time since you've been ill, and it takes so much energy once you recover. You should lie down and rest."

Sun Shaoxian's lips were still pale, and when he saw the old lady and the eldest lady came together, he immediately got up to salute: "Old ancestor, mother..."

This made Mrs. Sun rush forward, pressed his other arm, and said, "No way. Shaoxian, you are still weak, don't go to the ground for now."

Sun Shaoxian had no choice but to lean back, with helplessness on his face and guilt in his mouth: "It's all my fault, but I made my ancestors and mother worry about me. I feel better today."

A girl brought a chair long ago, and Mrs. Sun sat on the armchair, and said: "You don't need to worry about these things, as long as you are healthy, everything will be fine."

Sun Shaoxian lowered his head and smiled wryly: "I understand what my ancestors and mother did for me. It's just that I have a body like this, so why bother to spoil a good girl, if I don't succeed one day, how can I tell her how to live... I heard She is very young..."

What she said made Mrs. Sun's eyes sour, and she couldn't help but shed tears.She choked up and said: "The monk said that you are engaged to that girl, and it should be fine. Now that you have agreed to everything, how can I not believe it? My son, you will get better day by day What's wrong with you, can't you be worthy of her? Welcome her back in the future, as long as you are good, even if you ask me to bring her tea and water, squeeze her shoulders and beat her back, it will make..."
