The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

But Jia Yingchun didn't know that she had just left the back garden. From the bushes in the corner of the garden, Xiao Yun came out with a serious face, stood firmly in front of Xiao Rou, and asked coldly: "Who told you what you said just now?" of?"

Sister Xiao Rou rarely saw Xiao Yun since they were young, and they were not used to seeing Xiao Yun's murderous look when he was sullen. For them, their father's scholarly temperament was more approachable, so when they were together Hearing Xiao Yun's stern question, the two of them were immediately stunned. Xiao Mei was so frightened that she quickly ran to hide behind the servant girl, her eyes were full of tears, and she tightly covered her mouth, not daring to cry out. At one point, she bravely bowed to Xiao Yun and said, "Second, Second Uncle..."

"Didn't you hear my question!? Who told you that the second daughter of the Jia family is going to be your father's aunt?!" Xiao Yun was furious in his heart. Even if it is inconvenient for him to meddle in the affairs of the rear house, it does not mean that he can allow some people to do bad things under the nose of his mother.

Now Xiao Yun's mind is filled with the thought of Jia Yingchun's appearance of leaving the Linchuan uncle's mansion just now, swallowing his anger and full of grievances, and his heart aches again. Others see her living well in that mansion, but they don't know that such a good life is her first step. No matter how much her biological father, aunt, elder brother and elder sister-in-law protect her, it is difficult to beat the master and servants in the whole house who are used to being bitches. If she does not fight for her own interests, Maybe in the end, she will only be torn apart. The most important thing is that in such an environment, she can not only learn the skills of housekeeping and financial management, but also maintain a pure and kind heart. This is what he respects and loves.

Xiao Yun thought indignantly in his heart, he had waited for more than two years to finally see a ray of light, and there were still such malicious people in his house who wanted to destroy it. Fortunately, today's situation is not too bad. I didn't give my mother a definite answer, but if she really loved her daughter, she might not disagree.

Xiao Yun also understands Jia Yingchun's temper. She was slandered in the Linchuan uncle's house today for no reason. Although she can't refute one or two things for herself, she has reasons to refuse this marriage, but how can he accept it? The result of wasting money?

Before Xiao Rou could answer, a possible candidate had already appeared in Xiao Yun's fast thinking mind, and he thought that this trick of misfortune Shuidong was good, but that person didn't know that this would expose him even faster.

"It's Ruyi, right? She told you all those words?" Xiao Yun didn't want to embarrass the two nieces, so he asked again.

"How did Second Uncle know?!" Xiao Mei yelled in surprise, then covered her mouth in fear.

"Hmph! I will ask my wife to handle this matter properly, and you are not allowed to mention those things to anyone in the future, do you hear me?" Xiao Yun turned around and went to Uncle Linchuan without waiting for sister Xiao Rou to respond. Lady's yard walk.

After Xiao Mei saw Xiao Yun leaving quickly, she slowly moved out from behind the servant girl, pulled Xiao Rou's sleeve with a look of fear on her face, and asked, "Sister, Second Uncle heard what we just said, Isn't it? But why is Second Uncle so angry? We obviously didn't mention him."

"Oh! Don't ask, remember that matter and don't talk about it again. I was thinking... Maybe we were all deceived." From Xiao Yun's attitude, Xiao Rou probably guessed that she and her sister were afraid of being deceived. After all, many people in the house know about Ruyi's thoughts on her second uncle, and she has heard gossip a few times. The younger sister made the raft.

"Cheated?! How is it possible!? Sister Ruyi is not that kind of person..." Xiao Mei said in disbelief.

"Anyway, that's how it is! If you ask any more questions, be careful that the second uncle will scold you again, and you all listen to me. No one is allowed to tell Ruyi. Otherwise, I will go back to my mother and put Sell ​​them all!" Xiao Rou didn't intend to explain too much to Xiao Mei, but she didn't forget to raise her head to warn the maid who was waiting on them.

"Don't worry, big girl. We didn't hear anything just now, and we didn't see anyone. It's getting cold. The two girls should go back to the house to rest, and then go to pay their respects to the wife and grandma later." A woman He bowed in response very winkingly.

"Well, sister, go back, if you catch a cold, you will have to drink the medicine you don't like again." Xiao Rou nodded in satisfaction, then took Xiao Mei's hand, and coaxed Xiao Mei back to the residence together.

When Xiao Yun came to Madam Linchuan, he first confirmed to the little maid outside the door that Madam Xing had left, and then went into the house to see his mother.

Mrs. Linchuan saw that Mrs. Xing had just left, and her youngest son appeared on her back immediately. She thought that the youngest son was in a hurry to ask how the result was. When she saw him enter the room, she smiled and said, "Look at you, Mrs. Xing said I still have to go back and ask her master, but I reckon the chances of the couple agreeing are quite high, so please wait for a few more days with peace of mind."

"Mother, send Ruyi to Zhuangzi to marry in these two days, and then let her stay. I'm afraid our house will be messed up by her before my wife gets married." Xiao Yun didn't beat around the bush, Said bluntly.

"What? Didn't you agree to find a proper servant in the mansion to marry her? Why did you suddenly refuse to let her stay?" Mrs. Lin Chuan asked puzzledly.

So Xiao Yun told Mrs. Linchuan about the scene that just happened in the back garden. The more Mrs. Linchuan listened, the more dignified her face became. Finally, she could only sigh and say: "This child looked very good when he was young. How did you grow up, but your mind became so vicious? You taught the two girls badly, how did Sister Rou take care of the people around them? How could Sister Rou and sisters hear such things? Your sister-in-law didn't tell me a word, is she not paying attention to me as a mother-in-law? Qiuhong, you go to the eldest grandma and tell her that I have something to ask her. "

Xiao Yun saw that Madam Linchuan's expression was a bit grim, but he also knew that Grandma Xiao was a normal person, so he persuaded: "Mother, don't blame sister-in-law for being careless, sister-in-law has been in the house for so many years, and there are only two nieces under her knees. There must be a lot of pressure in her heart. Even if you don't say it, don't others say it? She usually looks like a smart and capable person. If this matter is not related to her elder brother, how could she be so upset? I didn’t find out about other people’s traps.”

"Of course I understand what you mean. It is precisely because of this that I have to wake her up. Otherwise, how will your sister-in-law get along with each other when your daughter-in-law comes in in the future? Maybe people won't care about these things with your sister-in-law, but I A mother-in-law can't just sit by and watch, and the house is restless. How can you men calm down and run errands outside? I have been with your father to entertain guests for a long time today. You go back to rest first, and I will talk to your sister-in-law about it. Yes." Mrs. Lin Chuanbo said, and made a gesture to drive Xiao Yun back to his yard.

Grandma Xiao heard that Madam Linchuan was talking to her, and she reluctantly walked over slowly with her maid Cuiyu and nurse Wu. Holding the towel and looking carefully, there is still a slight trembling feeling.

"Grandma, don't be afraid. Things may not be as bad as you think. Leaving aside other things, that girl Ruyi's mind is not pure enough. Can you really believe her words?" Mammy Wu looked at the girl she had raised since she was a child. I feel so sorry for scaring myself like this just because of a rumor that I haven't verified.

"Nurse, you don't understand. My wife is very kind to that girl Jia. You didn't see her today and said in front of everyone that you will take the purse that Miss Jia gave her to go out in the future. You said that what my wife said is wrong." What do you mean? Isn't it because she valued that girl and wanted the uncle to marry her as the second wife? And she once said that the eldest son and grandson of our family must never come out of the aunt's belly. Aunt Shi and Aunt Yu are still I can't have children, isn't it because I didn't give birth to a son? It's been a few years now, and my stomach hasn't moved for a long time. My wife must not want to wait, and there happens to be such a girl who suits her heart, how could she not move? Thoughts?" Grandma Xiao's reddish eye sockets clearly showed the suffering and grief in her heart.

"Grandma is confused? If it is as you said, how can the wife go out to meet people with something made by the second room? Besides, how many women are in their 40s and [-]s can still have children. Grandma is only in her early twenties, and the days are still long Very well, it is impossible for the wife to do such a thing to hurt her daughter-in-law." Madam Wu explained softly.

"But, but... Mrs. Shen's is the wife's accompanying room. Could it be that her news could be wrong? Besides, Mrs. Xing just left not long ago, and my wife asked me to come over right now. Who can be sure that it's not to marry the second room for the uncle?" Mama, I'm so scared, really scared!" The more Grandma Xiao talked, the more difficult the road ahead became, as if walking all the way would put herself in a predicament.

"Grandma, let's stop dawdling. Instead of thinking about things here, it's better to ask about it. I also believe that what Madam Wu said is right, and as far as I know, Ruyi's thoughts have always been on How can Second Master have time to meddle in the affairs of our yard? Even if she really heard something from Mr. Shen, why would she tell grandma eagerly?" Cuiyu said with a sigh.

"This, this..." Grandma Xiao didn't listen much, but what Cuiyu said was right. Ruyi was originally her mother-in-law who wanted to give her to the second uncle, but the second uncle refused to take her. Where is the mother-in-law? He didn't keep her, so he's just like an idler in the mansion up to now, and her eyes are full of thinking about how to break through the second uncle's defense, how can she have the leisure to take care of her house, unless...unless....

"Grandma, don't think too much about it, everything will be clear when you go to your wife's place?" Cuiyu saw that Grandma Xiao's brows and eyes were a little loose, so she quickly persuaded her.

"That's right, let's go to the wife's place first." Grandma Xiao put aside the doubts in her heart for a while, and moved her steps to the main courtyard again.
