Daughter of the Red Chamber should be self-improvement

Autumn in Jinling is very dazzling, but also very short.Before the literati and students can enjoy it, an autumn rain will sweep away the fallen leaves in the streets and alleys, whether you care about your worries or clear up your grievances.All ended in this autumn rain.The girls and masters of Jia's house naturally changed their clothes early, and the stove was used in the house.

No one knows when the snow in early winter will arrive.The next day, I opened the door and saw: it was already a world covered in silver.The old people said: This year's snow came really early!The children are happy and have more play programs.Shuo Feng hit his face with snow foam, which hurt.The men also abandoned their horses and took sedan chairs instead.

The snow was cloudy and sunny for a few days, and God just showed a smile on his face.The girls in Jia's mansion had already changed into winter clothes.Because of her martial arts practice, Daiyu's body seems to be falling down day by day.No, he was only wearing a hairy silver bijia embroidered with green bamboo leaves, and his lower body was only a light green jacket, with the auspicious cloud pattern of Wanfu embroidered with silver thread on it.After receiving the enlightenment from Tanchun, Daiyu continued to practice herself day by day, carefully studying the two booklets left by her master Bukong several times back and forth.Daiyu was originally clever, but her mind was all on finding the enemy.Now that she has no clue, Daiyu simply puts it down and only concentrates on studying Master's experience.

Who knows that things in the world are often "planting flowers with intention but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade".However, Daiyu found several flaws in the booklet: one is that the Cha Tuo Luo was produced in the Western Regions, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get it; , How can I get to the Central Plains?

One day, Daiyu also had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of something that Princess Beijing mentioned about her parents: There was a princess from the Western Regions in the palace, but it was a small country in the Western Regions—— Xiye sent it to make friends with Daxia.Legend has it that the princess was born extremely beautiful, and she was also very much loved that day.It's a pity that the sky is jealous of the beauty, and the princess drove west of Hexi before she had time to leave a son and a half daughter for Emperor Gaozu Tuobahui.Daiyu also visited the palace at night for this reason, but the old look has been changed, and the Wangyou Palace of Princess Yunluo in the past has already changed a new person.Except for some Western Region style, there is probably nothing left.

Baochai also gradually grasped the economic power of the Xue family.Xue Wang's family disagreed at first, but only had selfish intentions: thinking that Baochai's daughter's family would eventually get married, he was afraid that one day all the property of Xue's family would belong to people with foreign surnames.When Baochai heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry, but Daiyu persuaded her again and again, and said, "Sister, why don't you hand over all the rent, land deed and silver to your aunt, and you just pay, but give all the monthly income to your aunt."He also made a plan to list the accounts of these years since his father's death to his mother one by one.

Facts speak louder than words, Xue Wang looked at the dwindling income on the accounts.Thinking back to the shopfronts and fields sold by Xue Pan in the past few years, I gradually figured it out: If Xue Pan is allowed to go on like this, not to mention enjoying the blessings, I am afraid that some of his mothers will live on the streets.It's just that the overlord is used to messing around on weekdays, how can he bear such constraints, and whenever he loses money in gambling outside, he will go home to mess around.Xue Wang couldn't bear his son's suffering, and couldn't help that bastard to do all kinds of things, so he couldn't help but secretly help his son with one or two meals behind Baochai's back.That Xue Pan has been spoiled by pampering since he was a child, now that he has come to the capital, he has met a bunch of cronies and friends, and he just spends his days drinking and drinking.There is also a group of people who are used to stepping on the low to go high, and they only coax the dumb bully to give them money for their fun.Xue Pan was an asshole at first, but he was also a little dull. He was instigated by the villain that time, and every time he got angry with Wang Xue and Baochai, he only vomited and felt sad for Baochai's mother and daughter.

Ever since Tan Chunyuan got married, the marriages of the girls in Jia's mansion have gradually been put on the agenda.Yingchun's marriage was promised by his father Jia She to a grandson of a family friend --- Sun Shaozu, who is said to have a rich family background, his ancestors served in the army, and he is currently the commander.Because of the matter of Tanchun, Jiamu's thoughts are getting shorter and shorter.Kuang Jia amnesty had separated from Jia Zheng long ago.Yingchun was originally the daughter of Jia She and his ex-wife. Unexpectedly, Yingchun's mother was depressed every day after giving birth to Yingchun, and she went away within a few years.Mother Jia took pity on him when he was young, and took him to raise him by her side.Now that Yingchun's own father has made an appointment, although Jia's mother sent someone to find out that Sun Shaozu is vulgar and lustful.Someone also called Jia Amnesty to his side, reprimanded him, and wanted him to withdraw from the marriage.However, Jia Amnesty had had a rift with Jia's mother because of Jia's mother's blind love for Jia Zheng.The old lady was so angry that she fell seriously ill again.The Sun family decided to get married very urgently, and they had to get married years ago.The old lady was still ill, and there was no one to take care of the matter of welcoming the spring, but her unscrupulous father decided to marry in a hurry.

After Yingchun got married, the garden became increasingly cold.Because Baoyu left two sisters in succession, and the old lady was ill again, she just moaned and sighed all day long, became more and more careless about her homework, and became more and more attached to Daiyu and Baochai.It's just that the two of them didn't like Baoyu's inaction, and at this time they were just perfunctory for the sake of their relatives.Mrs. Wang had mentioned to her sister several times that she liked Baochai, but Xue Wang pretended to be deaf and dumb to fool her.

What do you think, but it turns out that Mrs. Xue Wang still liked that Baoyu was born well, and he was willing to spend time on girls, and most of all, he was willing to lie low in front of girls and be a child.Besides, this in-law is his own younger sister, so her daughter won't be angry with her mother-in-law if she marries.Then he revealed this thought to Baochai quietly.Baochai immediately patted Xue Wang's hand and said, "Mom is really confused! Although that Baoyu was born with a good skin, it is not very useful. Not to mention that Baoyu is still a white man now, if he is a little Some are self-motivated, and with Jia's family background, it is not difficult to find a job. But now they only know how to hang out in the inner circle. The aunt also only blindly protects, so Jin Chuan'er voted for it. Well? For such a person who is ignorant of common affairs externally and internally impatient with the four books and five classics, the mother actually wants to teach her daughter to entrust her life? Isn't this pushing her daughter into the fire pit?!" Baochai said anxiously and angrily, and at the same time And the shyness of girls.As he spoke, he wanted to shed tears.After hearing these words, Aunt Xue didn't understand anything, so she hugged Baochai in her arms: "My son! It's my mother who wronged you. You just pretended that your mother didn't say anything about it. But you are better than my mother." See it more clearly, this family is still pointing at you! Mom will not be good at making decisions about your affairs in the future!"

The days are getting closer to the end of the new year, and the old lady's body has suffered from these incidents, and her body has been severely damaged.Daiyu went to visit her almost every day, and secretly took the old lady's pulse, and found that her pulse was chaotic, with a burning sensation, astringent qi, and stringy pulse, but it was a symptom of liver qi stagnation and emotional discomfort.I have seen the prescription, but it is the Huagan Jiedu Decoction prescribed by Zhang Jingzhong, an old imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital.It is very symptomatic.After reading the medical books these days, Daiyu naturally understands that most of her illnesses are caused by preoccupation.Therefore, I often find some happy topics to persuade the old lady.Baochai also came here every now and then with her mother, chatting with the old lady.Wang Xifeng can't do without carefully preparing the old lady's soup and food every day.Although the two wives Xing and Wang are not good at words, they are unequivocal in the morning and evening.Just like this day by day until the end of the year is approaching, Mrs. Jia is well.Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

This winter is also strange, the snow sees the world non-stop.After all, the weather was rarely sunny this day, so Daiyu ordered Xueyan to take a big bird gold cloak, and wanted to go to the garden to relax.Xueyan opened the cabinet to get clothes, and said with a smile: "But, it has been snowing for a while. Yesterday, I vaguely heard some women on the second door gossiping, saying that this year, due to the heavy snow for several days, The hunters on the Zhuangzi are not allowed to enter the mountain, and the number of wild animals offered as offerings is nearly half that of previous years! I heard that the next-door Mr. She was furious because of this, and scolded the second master Lian. The second master Lian came from there yesterday When he came back, he scolded all the maids and mothers-in-law serving in the Zhuijin Tower, and dropped many cups. These maids and mothers-in-law held their breaths for fear of accidentally touching It’s the master’s bad luck. That’s an unwarranted disaster!”

After talking so much, Daiyu couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched Xueyan's cheek: "I didn't realize that our sister Xueyan is a sweet-talking starling, look at this little mouth, it's so ridiculous Shun Liu, you can catch up with the storyteller outside!" While talking, she blinked at Zi Juan who was standing aside.Not allowing Xueyan to speak, she turned around again, took the tea from Zijuan's hand and handed it to Xueyan: "My sister just said such a long story, she must be thirsty, please drink this cup of turbid tea to moisturize Throat." Zijuan next to her couldn't help but ran to the outhouse to laugh endlessly.

Xueyan was dumbfounded, and just realized it.Looking at Daiyu's narrow smile, he was angry and funny and said: "Master doesn't learn from others, Cheng Rijie only knows how to make fun of slaves." Then he said to the outer room: "Zijuan, you are not happy. Come in and wait for the young lady to change clothes, and the optical society will arrange people together with the young lady." Zijuan suppressed a smile and came in to help Daiyu put on the sparrow gold cloak, and handed the copper hand stove that she had prepared earlier to Daiyu's hand.

Daiyu couldn't stand the maids following her on weekdays. Although Xueyan was worried, there was nothing she could do.I had to instruct Daiyu carefully to be careful. It has been snowing for the past few days, and the road in the garden is bound to be slippery, so be careful where you step.Daiyu covered her ears and said: "Nagging like this, be careful that you will become a long-tongued woman in the future." It provoked the little maids next to her to cover their mouths and laugh for a while.

Leaving the house that is as warm as spring, the head-on wind blows with snow particles on the trees, which is a bit chilly to the bone.Daiyu subconsciously tightened the cloak around her body, and hugged the hand stove even tighter.The bamboo along the wall was overwhelmed by the heavy snow. Although the snow on the stone steps had been cleaned, it was wet and slippery.Daiyu specially changed into new high-top buckskin boots, but she still walked cautiously.The pine branches were bent down by the snow, and the sun shone, and the snow fell down rustlingly.A few red plums are blooming just right, covered with white snow, they are extraordinarily energetic.

Thinking of Tanchun's letter that she got only a few days ago, Daiyu was a little worried.The snow on the grassland is even worse than that in the capital.When winter came, it rained non-stop, and several pastures to the north were affected to varying degrees, and the northernmost pasture called Campbell suffered the most.Almost all the livestock in the pasture froze to death, and hundreds of people died.The rest of the pastures are in better condition, but more than half of them have been lost.The Borbojit Grassland has nothing to lose because it is separated from the north by a big green mountain.With the hay stored earlier, it should not be difficult to survive this winter.It's just that all the brothers and tribes affected by the disaster came to seek refuge in the king's land, but Huyan Yu, the king of the Huns, couldn't ignore it.In this way, I can only pray to God to bless me, and the weather will clear up as soon as possible, so I am afraid that I will be able to survive this damn winter.Although Tanchun was not greatly affected, the king took the lead in setting an example and saving money in order to survive this severe winter.As a princess, how can Tanchun be able to take care of herself alone, while leaving her subjects alone.Therefore, the group of people who went with Tanchun all advance and retreat with the king.Although he is rewarded, who knows the pain in it?

Daiyu thought and acted, but also had to be careful where she stepped.Inadvertently, she arrived at Zilingzhou, thinking that Yingchun was married, and the old lady ordered people to close Zilingzhou, so she wanted to turn around and go back.But I saw Siqi wearing a thin shirt, shrugging his shoulders, coming in a hurry.Daiyu went up to meet her.Siqi saw that it was Daiyu, but regardless of the ice and snow, he knelt down with a plop, and said straightly, "Miss Biao, please save our lady!"But this girl just kowtowed and refused to get up no matter what.Hou Daiyu threatened her and said, "If you don't get up again, I will leave." Siqi took Daiyu's hand and got up tremblingly from the ground.Daiyu saw that Siqi was only wearing a half-new jacket, her lips were already bruised, and she pulled her hands together to see: the slender hands that were originally painted with henna were now extremely red and swollen, and some places had even festered. .

Daiyu saw Siqi shivering from the cold, and Beifeng cut people's faces like a small knife, thinking that this is not a place to talk.Then he went forward and shook Siqi's hand and said: "This is the closest to the Fourth Miss's Ouxiangxie, let's go there first and then talk about it."

Ouxiangxie was originally adjacent to Zilingzhou, but it is only a short turn around the corner.Xichun was startled when she saw Siqi at first sight.In terms of the big maids in the garden, Xiren and Zijuan are the most loyal, Baoqin and Shishu are the most intelligent, but Qingwen and Siqi are the most determined.These maids are all first-class regardless of their looks and manners.Although she is a maidservant in the garden, she is no worse than a serious master.Where did it come down to this?If we meet outside, suddenly, we really dare not recognize each other.

Without time to ask in detail, Xichun ordered people to quickly boil hot ginger tea, and then ordered people to heat up the charcoal basin.His eyes were red when he entered the painting, and he moved a low table and placed it next to the brazier with tears in his eyes.Daiyu forcibly pulled the hand of the chess player and roasted it on the charcoal basin.Seeing him in the painting, he held Siqi's hand and said, "My mother! This, how much has this happened?" The heat in the room finally made Siqi feel better.Siqi's tears came down like a flood that opened the gate.

Siqi didn't dare to sit down, he grabbed Daiyu's and Xichun's hands and was about to kneel down.Daiyu secretly used an internal force to entrust the chess player without kneeling down.A few people were sitting on the low table, pressing the chess board, just when ginger tea was served.Entering the painting, he said: "Quickly take a few sips of hot water in my hand to drive away the cold." Siqi Fang took a few sips vigorously.Then everyone took their seats and listened to the situation of the chess player Yingchun in the Sun's residence one by one.

But it turned out that Sun Shaozu was born in martial arts, not only was he rude, but also greedy and lustful. When the girl went over, she only said that the girl was paid by the master for 5000 taels of silver to the Sun family, and she was not considered a serious headed wife.If you are happy, you still have a good face, and you will be rewarded with leftovers; if you are unhappy, you will not be able to eat even if you have a good meal.The poor girl was originally a golden boudoir, how could she stand up to such abuse?Now there is no good place in the whole body, and only a handful of bones are left.He ate pig and dog food, and did clumsy work, which was worse than the poor girl in the house.

A few days ago, my uncle was not happy for some reason, not only did he not give the girl food, but also punished the girl to kneel in the ice and snow for several hours.Later, it was my son-in-law who went out to drink, and several servants couldn't see him, so he carried the girl who had passed out in the yard to the woodshed.At night, the girl felt cold and had a fever, and her whole body was like burning coals.The slaves had no choice but to invite a doctor for the girl while the uncle was away.The doctor said that fortunately the treatment was timely, otherwise he might have missed the shot.The poor girl just picked a life and came back.When the uncle came back yesterday, he was startled for some reason, and punched and kicked the girl again.The girl was already seriously ill, so how could she bear this, half her life was lost.I saw my uncle left today, so I thought about going back to the mansion to report a letter, otherwise, I am afraid that the girl will die in a few days.

Siqi finished the conversation like a cannonball, and took a breather.It was obvious that this girl might not have a good life.Xichun got angry when she heard that, she patted the table and said: "How unreasonable! There is no law, and he can't do it!" Her little hands were flushed red.After all, Daiyu was older, and said: "Are you back to the old lady?" Hearing this, Siqi burst into tears again: "When I met my wife and Lian's second grandmother, I only said that the old lady's body is just right, so I won't let you see her." He also said that when the old lady is safe in a few days, we will take our girl back. Let me advise our girl to be patient for the time being. After all, the water splashed by the married daughter is not easy to control too much. I'm afraid our girl can't wait. On that day, I want to come back for the girl to see Zilingzhou where I lived in the past. You don’t know, during the few days when the girl was sick, she kept saying in her mouth: If I have to live in Zilingzhou for a few more days, Even if it is death, it is not in vain."

Daiyu felt sad for a while, and Xichun was also speechless.Siqi looked up at the window and saw that the sun had slanted, he panicked, put down the teacup in his hand and said: "I beg Fourth Miss and Miss Cousin to tell the old lady about our girl's situation, otherwise, I'm afraid, I'm afraid there will be no one." Girls won’t be able to survive the next year.” Kneeling down again, she kowtowed fiercely a few times: “I sneaked out today while my uncle wasn’t here, if I go back late, I’m afraid it will be another hard fight. Please girls Thinking of the friendship with our girl in the past, think of a way no matter what." After speaking, he got up and was about to leave.

Daiyu stepped forward to stop Siqi and said, "Go back and comfort your girls a lot. We will find a way to save you girls from this pit of fire." She then carefully asked Siqi Yingchun's location in Sun's residence.Xichun packed two more packages for Siqi, which were nothing more than some warm clothes and some snacks.Siqi took it with red eyes and hurried away.
