The Red Chamber is not a dream

【No.40】Doves occupy the nests of magpies and rob people

In the blink of an eye, it was May, and the tailor I was looking for outside had already delivered the clothes the day before yesterday, and delivered them to everyone's room one by one.Mrs. Xing went to the Yingchun room, watched him change into new clothes, praised him a few times, and then smiled: "On the day when we go to other people's homes, you might as well put on your crabapple hairpin. It fits well with this dress." Yingchun heard the words, but her face was a bit distressed, Mrs. Xing knew something was wrong when she saw it, and before Yingchun could speak, she asked Siqi, "Where did your girl's hairpin go?" Siqi Hearing this, she looked at Yingchun. When Mrs. Xing saw her, she sneered and said, "You don't have to look at the girl. You used to serve the girl, but now you can't find a hairpin. What are you doing in the room?" Siqi Ben was clever, but seeing Mrs. Xing was annoyed, she quickly knelt down and said, "Mrs. Mingjian, we didn't dare to deceive our hearts. The girl's hairpin was pawned by Mrs. Wang and put on the boss. She said it was too much." The day will come."

Mrs. Xing knew that these nannies were horrible, but she never paid attention to them. Now that she heard about this, she sneered and said, "It's not the first time I've encountered him. I just found out now. You girls are good-natured. So I never told me that I let him go." Hearing this, Yingchun had to say, "I think he took it and borrowed it for a while. I just said that he took it out quietly, but after a while, it's still the same." It was finished quietly, but he forgot about it. It was my fault, and it made my mother angry."

Mrs. Xing hated iron for being weak when she heard the words, and said: "My son, what has it to do with you, you take the blame for him! How did I tell you on weekdays? You are now a serious eldest daughter , no one can control you! If these people are not good, you can just take out the lady's money and complain about him." Yingchun lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes, and answered after a long while: "I also told him twice, he If you don't listen, you can't do anything. Besides, he's a mother, so I have my reasons." Mrs. Xing became even angrier when she heard this, and said, "It's all a good nanny that the good second wife found. She's too lazy to even The girl is also bullying! Why can't you speak against him? He used to be a servant in the family, and you called him mother, but you only had his milk for a few days when you were a child. Now you are running rampant here, who is relying on power!" Xingxing said, seeing that Yingchun's face was flushed, and fearing that the harsh words would make him unhappy, he softened his voice and said, "My son, you have seen how I treat you all the time. Why is there such a thing?" Waiting for things, why don't you tell me? Even if you don't tell me, you should tell your brother and sister-in-law. There is only this one girl. If you don't take care of her, it's not allowed." Yingchun said hurriedly: "I don't want to do it. About my brother and sister-in-law. Because I think about my mother’s complicated daily affairs, I dare not disturb my mother’s mind with these trivial matters; my sister-in-law has a new nephew, and she should rest; Governor, it’s not good to always talk about this.”

Mrs. Xing knew that Yingchun had a gentle temperament and was the most indifferent to the world. Although she taught him many times, she still did not change his temperament, so she thought to herself: "I thought it was wrong. I just thought he was my daughter's family. I should be more pampered, I taught him how to do everything, but if I don't want to, it makes him uneasy, for fear that I will be bored, so this move is not my original intention." So my heart changed, and I sighed deliberately. Said: "Stupid child, what do you mean to disturb or not? I think you have alienated me. You only think that you didn't fall from me, so you don't want to treat your mother like other daughters." Yingchun heard these words and was shocked. Turning pale, she hurriedly got up and knelt down and cried, "My wife's words, teach my daughter how to be worthy! I knew in my heart how Mrs. Su Ri treated me, but my mouth was clumsy and I never said it. My heart is full of envy. His love is better than others. My wife's words today really teach my daughter that there is no place for her!"

Mrs. Xing didn't really annoy him at first, but she just wanted to bluff him for a while, so as to draw out the later words; now seeing him crying, she hurriedly helped him up and said: "I just said it in a fit of anger, and I bluffed you like this again." It's just that we were originally mother and daughter. Where are the mothers who don't love their daughters and don't stand up for their daughters? You are afraid of me, but I can't see you being idle. I only regret that I came two years late, and you are now He's grown up again, if you kick him out immediately, it will look like we are ungrateful. Now put away your tears, and I will vent your anger for you in the future." Then he ordered Xiuju to fetch water to wash his face, watching Yingchun reappear After washing up, Nai said: "I don't want this hairpin for the time being. Xia Xi led Siqi to my room, and brought my hairpin with a hundred butterflies through flowers to wear with the second girl. And wait until this festival is over." Let’s make a fuss about it slowly.” Xia Xi responded, and went out with Siqi, and came back with the hairpin not long after, Mrs. Xing inserted it on Yingchun’s head, and said with a smile: “You are so handsome. Tianli only praises others every day, where are our girls not as good as them? Your mother is the order of the third rank, and you are my daughter, so you are no worse than them." Yingchun heard the words, only blushed, but bowed her head and remained silent. .Mrs. Xing took him by the hand and told him some things, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. I will take your sisters there on the day, and everything will be up to me." Suddenly, a little girl came to report: "The old lady wakes up. It's gone." Mrs. Xing heard this, Fang got up and walked forward, sent Yingchun outside the courtyard, watched Mrs. Xing go and Fang returned.

After a few people went back to the room, Xiu Jufang smiled and said: "How about it, I said our wife understands. At any rate, when the screwdriver is sent away from a distance, our place will be clean. He has tried the girl's good nature. How dare you do that." Yingchun frowned and said, "He was found by the second wife, and he has some connections with his family. If I really went back to my mother and she asked him, the second wife's face would be ugly. I don't have to blame my mother." Siqi heard the words and said, "Miss, this is wrong. I didn't see my wife just heard that the girl has been wronged. How angry are you? Besides, it's not a day or two between us, sooner or later we will quarrel. Yes. The girl blindly tolerates them, and they will step on the girl's head if they get their way! They only care about their faces, who will care about us!" Yingchun was silent when she heard the words, thinking to herself: "See you today My mother's situation, I think, is very important to me. I was recorded in my mother's name, so naturally I have to obey her; if I still endure, it will not only be bad for myself, but also hurt my mother's face. I've lost the love my mother has always given me." So I have plans in my heart, so it's no problem.

On the first day of the new year, Mrs. Xing got up early, watched Yingchun freshen up, took Xiuyan, and went to Jiamu's place together. After a while, other people arrived, even Xiangyun came in with Daiyu .It turned out that Jia's mother heard that Mrs. Xing was going to take his sisters to visit people's house the day before yesterday, and knew that Xiangyun was the most lively, and his two aunts didn't go to people's houses very often, so she asked people to pick him up and said that she would also take him. Go to people's homes.When Xiangyun heard the words, he was naturally eager to make a sound, and he didn't care to be angry with Baoyu, so he came straight to the mansion.Seeing him coming, Baoyu remembered what happened the day before yesterday, and wanted to talk to him. Seeing that there were so many people here, it was hard to say, so he had to stop looking at Xiangyun.Xiangyun just pretended not to see, and talked to others himself.

At that moment, Mrs. Xing wanted to lead his sister to other people's house, but Baoyu stayed with her. She was afraid that his father would reprimand her, so she had no choice but to let it go. Seeing that Xiangyun had stood up with everyone, she leaned over and said with a smile, "Sister Yun, today Go to someone's mansion with your aunt, come back and talk to me anyway." Xiangyun was still angry, and when he heard the words, he gave him a sideways glance, but pretended not to hear, and turned his head to talk to Baoqin.Baoyu couldn't help it, so he secretly pulled Tanchun and said, "Third sister, I can't go. Come back and tell me about the situation there." Tanchun also smiled softly, "Should I tell you about the women's family in other people's houses?" Got it? Go and read your book." Baoyu was willing to agree, and begged Tanchun like a twisted hip;So several people got into the car and came to the street.

But it is said that there was a man named Zhao Pengyu in the middle of the capital, who was worshiped as a third-rank general. He married the Liu family, the daughter of Liu Biao, the Duke of Li.The Zhao family has only one prostitute daughter, who is called Jiayin in small characters. Now she is 13 years old, but she is a daughter with both talents and looks. But together with his mother, he went forward to meet him.Let's greet each other for a while, and sat down and said a few words. Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "I know that you young girls are bound to be together with us who are so old. You take it with you." These younger sisters go to the back and fight." Jiayin got up when she heard this, and saluted the two wives before leading them away.Mrs. Xing saw that they had left, she smiled at Mrs. Liu, "Sure enough, Mrs. Liu's daughters are very good, but our second girl can't compare to her." Mrs. Liu laughed, "That's not the case. The second girl of your mansion has a stable temperament, unlike our voice, who is so jumpy." The two of them talked about some homework, without saying a word.

Several people walked to the back garden because of the good news, talking and laughing along the way, and after walking for about a cup of tea, they suddenly saw a small pavilion in front of them.Jiayin laughed and said, "My sisters must be tired from walking, why don't you take a rest in this pavilion." Then, several people sat in it, and immediately a maid brought tea, and his sisters sat and laughed.Because Baochai and Daiyu are guests, and see that the good news is talkative, naturally they don't want to overwhelm others, so they listen to him more; Du Xiangyun doesn't care about this, but talks and laughs at will.Baochai couldn't help but see that Jiayin was going there to pay the girls, so she quietly said to Xiangyun, "Don't be too excited, this is a guest at someone else's house, not your own." Xiangyun laughed and said, "It's so easy." What's the fun in going out for a stroll?" Seeing that Baochai said he wouldn't listen, she stopped talking and started talking to Daiyu.
