Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

Xing Xiuyan who slept in the west wing didn't know this.In fact, she didn't care about it either.

It has been half a year since she entered the dungeon, and the hardships of the past six months are not in vain—although most viewers can’t see it, after all, except for those who watched the live broadcast, most of the audience watched the edited video—but the pain she suffered It's the real deal.Among other things, under the protection of his parents, the original owner's little hands were kept white and tender.After all, there is an old saying that wealth and honor are born in siblings, and most people know how their family is by stretching out their hands.

But after she came, serving those sweet potatoes is no compromise, she is not the kind of natural beauty, so the whole person is tanned and thin, not to mention, although the hands are not as chapped as the old farmer, they are okay No matter where you go, let alone compare with those decent daughters, even decent girls from rich families have more delicate and decent hands than hers.

Therefore, on the first night of staying in the Lin family's other courtyard, Xing Xiuyan didn't even bother to look at the value of the furnishings on the antique shelves. The first thing she cared about was whether the Lin family had prepared pearl ointment for her.

In the past, it was the time when she had to pay, but now, it is also time to take good care of it.Besides, judging from this posture, Lin Ruhai will definitely invite their family to accompany him if he is going to Beijing.And going to Beijing is indispensable to deal with Jia's family.In Jia's place, even the dog has a pair of rich eyes. If she doesn't take good care of her, she may be looked down upon by others and suffer unnecessary idleness.

Xing Xiuyan's so natural attitude attracted the attention of the little girl Dingxiang arranged for her by the Lin family.

Although she is a little girl, but people like the Lin family have a set of rules for selecting slaves. Ding Xiang is 12 years old this year. Although she is only a second-class girl in the Lin family, she is also a top-notch outsider.

Before coming here, Ding Xiang had already been told that from now on, she would serve the cousin girl of the Xing family. She thought she was a girl from a poor and settled family who had never seen the market, but after seeing the other party enter the house, she was surprised by the decorations in the house. There was no expression of amazement at all, his face was calm, and the contempt in Ding Xiang's heart disappeared a bit.Then Xing Xiuyan swallowed pearl ointment, and her tone and attitude made Ding Xiang not dare to belittle her.

After serving Xing Xiuyan to take a bath and change clothes, Ding Xiang knelt on the ground to trim Xing Xiuyan's fingernails, massage her fingers and apply pearl ointment. She still chatted with Xing Xiuyan:

"I don't know how old the cousin girl is this year, but she looks similar to our girl."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "I am indeed the same age as Lin's sister. Coincidentally, they were both born in the first half of the year. Lin's sister was born on the Flower Festival, and I was born on the Flower Festival. One of the flowers is in full bloom to welcome the spring, and the other is sent away when all the flowers are in full bloom." Spring Return, what a coincidence!"

"That's really a coincidence!" Ding Xiang said, "Miss knows our girl? How do you know that our girl was born on the Flower Festival?"

"Why don't you know? My eldest aunt's mother-in-law gave birth to two sons and a daughter, a total of three children. The only daughter is your wife who has gone to the Lin family, and she is also her proudest daughter. Our eldest aunt is filling the house and married late. , so I don’t know your wife well, but I always mentioned one or two when I wrote back in previous years.”

"So, did the wife in the house mention our girl?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Not many. I heard that there are many slaves in the mansion whose eyelids are so shallow that they can only see money!"

There are many, but Xing Xiuyan doesn't talk about it.

As soon as Lilac heard this, she was immediately taken to heart, and took a half-day vacation the next day.

Naturally, Xing Xiuyan did not refuse.

And she also has errands to attend to.

Sure enough, within two days, she learned from her mother that the Xing family was going north to Beijing.

That day, Mrs. Xing was taking her two younger sisters to do needlework. Seeing her daughter coming, she quickly asked her to sit down and said:

"Since you are here, don't just eat and play, do two-color needlework, and prepare to go to Beijing to give gifts."

Xing Xiuyan said casually, "Auntie said so, but are you really going to Beijing?"

"That's not right! Master Lin is going to invite you with all his strength!"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing was very happy.

When she married, the Xing family was already a commoner. Now that she has the opportunity to go to the capital to experience it, how could she be unhappy?

That's the capital!At the feet of the Son of Heaven!The richest place in the world!

Xing Xiuyan thought for a while, and said, "Then what status are we going to Beijing with? Tenants of the Lin family? Relatives? Or the staff of Mr. Lin?"

The faces of the second and third aunts of the Xing family changed immediately.

Xing's wife frowned, and said: "You girl, are you crazy? Are you able to say these things?"

"Because it's in front of Auntie, the second aunt and the third aunt are her own people, and there are no outsiders, so the daughter just asks Aunt for advice. In Aniang's heart, what kind of person am I? Is it a peasant woman or a man from an official family? daughter in law?"

Xing's wife glared at her daughter angrily, and said, "Do I look like the daughter-in-law of an official's family?"

It's not that she has low self-esteem, but that after she got married, she really didn't have a good life.She has never known the style of a daughter-in-law of an official family, let alone enjoyed it.

Mrs. Xing looked at her daughter, pulled her hand earnestly, and said, "Girl, do you know what I am most worried about when I come to Beijing this time? I am afraid that you and your father will be fascinated by the world of flowers in Beijing." Dazzling! What a big bowl to eat! Don’t think about what you have and what you don’t have!”

Xing Xiuyan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

That's right, Xing Xiuyan in the original book can develop such an elegant and unashamed appearance. It is certainly a layer to have a good teacher and helpful friend like Miaoyu around her, but her native family is also very important.

A person's personality is directly linked to her original family.Xing Xiuyan's ability to develop that kind of appearance is certainly related to her nature, and her original family is not bad-although she is poor, but spiritually, she is rich.

Xing Xiuyan said: "My lady is good. You can live a rich life, but you can also keep this poor life. Father's blessings in his previous life made him husband and wife. But our ancestors of the Xing family were also officials, but It's the grandparents who left early, that's why they fell down. A Niang, you can live in poverty, how do you know that Dad has no plans to revitalize the Xing family?"

When Xing's wife heard about it, she was immediately discouraged.

But the faces of the second aunt of the Xing family and the third aunt of the Xing family were bright.

As the daughters of the Xing family, especially the daughters of the Xing family who had a faint impression of the Xing family's wealth and honor, they would never be reconciled to their future as a peasant woman or a commoner.

This is also the reason why they want to marry Lin Ruhai to fill the house.

They want to go back to that class!

If it wasn't for Xing Zhong's words, they wouldn't be so honest.

Fortunately, Xing Zhong is an older brother who can manage these two younger sisters.This era is very unfair to women. Although the second and third aunts of the Xing family can only rely on their elder brothers to live, although they are good at female celebrities and can support themselves, as an elder brother, Xing Zhong has an absolute say in his younger sister's marriage. Quan, if you offend Xing Zhong and marry them indiscriminately, they will lose more than they gain.

But this does not mean that they let go of their minds.

If possible, they also want to marry a good family.If there is an opportunity to allow them to return to the class of officials and eunuchs through marriage, of course they will try their best to seize it.

Mrs. Xing didn't notice the expressions of the two sisters-in-law, she took her daughter's hand and said, "Girl, you can't go on a crooked path~!"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "My daughter said, why doesn't my daughter not know? Don't worry, my daughter, Master Meng Miaoyu has taught her for so many years, and Master Miaoyu has taught her many things."

The second aunt of the Xing family wondered, "Why is Master Miaoyu telling you this?"

Xing's wife said: "My sister didn't know that Master Miaoyu's family was originally an official in Yangzhou, but because of the salt administration, it was defeated. Fortunately, Master Miaoyu entered Buddhism and was not implicated. I think Master Miaoyu mentioned it to your niece accidentally when he thought of home, so your niece remembered it in his heart."

Xing Xiuyan said: "It's not just memorizing it in my heart, my daughter will take it out from time to time to think about it, but she has figured out some meaning."

Xing's wife stopped immediately: "Girl!"

The third aunt said: "Sister-in-law~! You can let your niece and daughter talk about it. My sister will also listen to her, and she will learn a lot, so as not to be laughed at when she enters Beijing. Furthermore, revitalizing the Xing family is not only our hope, but also the eldest sister's wish." hope. If my elder brother is successful, my elder sister will be happy to know about it."

Xing's wife said: "It's so easy! If the eldest sister is here, I'm afraid she will point your brother's nose and scold him, saying that your brother takes the imperial examination too lightly!"

Xing Xiuyan immediately said: "I heard from Master Miaoyu about this. Master Miaoyu said that the test for children is not difficult, and many people can pass it in one test. But many poor families cannot pass the test in one time. There are two reasons. Books are not easy to come by, and the second is that I have never been to serious school, so I misread the scriptures, which affects my grades. Our family is in ruins, but my father has read books when he was young, and he has a solid foundation. Now we are relying on the Lin family, and Master Lin is from Tanhua, if we ask to borrow Master Lin's old notes to copy, A Niang said, will Master Lin borrow it?"

Of course I will.

After all, the Xing family sent a great contribution to the Lin family, and they are kind to the Lin family!

"You mean, let your father try it?"

The second aunt of the Xing family also became eager in her heart, and said: "Why not try it? I remember that it is also possible to take the exam not in the place of origin, as long as you have the supervision certificate of the Imperial College, and someone is a guarantee, and you can pay a fee. Many, every year the students from the north fail the exam in Jiangnan, causing great dissatisfaction among the dignitaries, and this is why the northern and southern tribute colleges are divided. Even if it’s just a child’s exam, it’s easier to take the exam in the capital than in Jiangnan.”

Xing's wife said: "But a scholar is of no great use...!"

The most direct result of Jiangnan's prosperous literary style is that Jiangnan will not hold mere scholars like other places.

In other places, a scholar may be very prestigious, but in the land of Jiangnan, if you are young and have a low reputation, that's fine, otherwise, unless you are a juren, no one will take you seriously thing!

Xing Xiuyan said: "With the fame of a scholar, my father can be a serious staff member in front of Master Lin. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, Master Lin is now the servant of the household department, and my father has been an assistant to Master Lin for a few years. You can’t count on a magistrate to recommend a book to become an official, but the county magistrates of the sixth and seventh ranks must not do it?”

Hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Xing also hesitated:

"This, can it be done?"

"Whether it can be done or not is a matter for the future. But whether to start is a matter for the present! Whether it can be persisted is a matter for the present!"
