The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

It's night, and a lamp is like a bean.

With the dimly flickering lights, Aunt Zhao Tanchun, mother and daughter were sewing head to head, while Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang in the other room were arguing with their voices rising and falling.

Aunt Zhao raised her head to look at her daughter. Although she was wearing a cloth dress and only a silver hairpin was inserted into the bun on her head, she still had handsome eyebrows and eyes, and she was pretty tight.

Sighing and lowering his voice, he said, "Take a rest, don't burn your eyes."

Tanchun didn't raise his eyes, and kept sewing in his hands: "There are still a few stitches to finish. I can't do this work during the day. Auntie is tired, so let's rest first."

What she was embroidering in her hand was a pouch, lavender satin, with silver thread on the hem, and a cluster of tender yellow flowers at the bottom, very charming and seductive.

Ever since the Rongguo Mansion was confiscated, all the property was confiscated. Although the two households have not yet separated, the Eldest Master Jia She suffered a stroke, and Jia Lian is now the master of the eldest household.After picking up the whole family from the prison, Jia Lian used the excuse of being promoted to the magistrate of Ping'an Prefecture and went to the office. Except for the second sister-in-law, Sister Feng, he packed up and took away the old man Jia Cong and the old lady. .

The nephew is in charge of the house, and no uncle will follow him to take office.Jia Lian will come, and before leaving, he said that he gave this small house to his second uncle, and left 200 taels of silver for expenses.

In fact, the meaning is very obvious, so far, the two families have separated.

200 taels of silver is said to be quite a bit less, and the farther places in the outskirts of Beijing are enough to buy a small village.It's just that for the Rongfu people who were well-clothed and well-fed in the past, this is just a few days' food money.

Mrs. Wang is stingy, since she cares about money more than anything else.When he came out of the prison, he took all the money away politely, and only said that he was in charge.

In the small house with two entrances, the main house in the back is naturally lived by Jia Zheng and his wife.Mrs. Wang was worried about Baoyu, so she placed him in the room opposite her.Li Wan lived in the East Wing, and there were exactly two rooms in the West Wing. The big room was given to Aunt Zhao, and Tanchun lived in the small room.

Aunt Zhao wanted to make a fuss earlier, but was persuaded by Tanchun.As for Jia Huan and Jia Lan's uncle and nephew, they lived in the Baosha in front.

To put it bluntly, the family is restless.Since entering the prison, Baoyu has been a little stunned. When he saw his father Jia Zheng being beaten up by the elder Jia She, he was frightened.

After returning to the house, he was forced to study again by Jia Zhengfa. After a few days like this, I don't know when I saw two people who were said to be outsiders from the door, and they followed them away.

Mrs. Wang was cheated all day long crying and wiping away her tears. The daughter in the palace hadn't come out since entering the cold palace that year. Seeing that there was no hope, her son was lost again!Looking around for people to inquire, where can there be news back?Originally, she still had a thought-her elder brother Wang Ziteng, counting the days, the foreign office will be full, and maybe he will leave Mujing.When he comes back, at least he can help himself!

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, my brother didn't wait for his return, but waited for a man in filial piety to report the funeral, saying that his brother Wang Ziteng suddenly fell ill on the way back to Beijing.

Mrs. Wang was crying this way, and she didn't know whether it was her brother or herself.

But this woman has a bit of ruthlessness in her temperament, even if she does this, she still hesitates and refuses to fall down, but she tightens her grip on the money in her small house.

After the house was ransacked, all the maids and maids were sold by the government, and now there is no servant at home.It doesn't matter, there is Aunt Zhao Li Wan exploring the spring!

Boiling water, cooking and cleaning, these jobs can be done by hands!

That's all for Aunt Zhao, she was originally a maidservant.I just feel sorry for Li Wan Tanchun's two little ones, the young mistress who was pampered and pampered in the past, now being ordered by Mrs. Wang to circle around the pot kitchen.Every time Aunt Zhao saw the flower-like daughter doing rough work, she would curse and curse in anger, but she couldn't help it.

Tanchun has experienced a lot of peace of mind during this period of time.She is not afraid of hard work, but the only thing that makes her angry is that Mrs. Wang is holding on to the money so tightly that she refuses to pay for Jia Huan and Jia Lan's private school!If Jia Zheng hadn't lost his temper, the uncle and nephew wouldn't know how long the delay would have been!

She could see that no matter how good the family was, for a girl, she could rely on a capable brother.

Tanchun was bold enough to discuss with Li Wan privately while cooking: "Brother Huaner and Lan go to the private school every day, what do you do with only one bun? I don’t care what happens to my sister-in-law, I’ll ask Huan’er to go out tomorrow and quietly bring me some sewing and cloth, and at least I’ll make some pocket handkerchiefs and go out, exchange some coins for them to eat snacks, buy paper and pens, too. OK!"

In fact, Li Wan still had some silver in his hand.She is a chaste woman, and she was not taken to her when the house was raided.But she doesn't intend to reveal the money, she is not afraid of other things, her own mother-in-law alone can't afford it.What's more, there is a sister-in-law who has not left the court and a brother-in-law who has not been married!

Tanchun's idea was exactly what she wanted.The sister-in-law and sister-in-law counted together, and Jia Huan and Jia Lan brought needles and threads back every day.It doesn't take much effort to make a purse handkerchief, and one can be made in half a day, and every time it's finished, it's handed over to the grocery seller, and you can get a few pockets in exchange for it-only two of them are kept from Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.

Seeing her daughter growing up, Aunt Zhao was in a hurry for this marriage.Previously in the Rong Mansion, it was fine if he didn't have the opportunity to speak for himself, but now that the children are so grown up, and the family fortune has also been ruined, if it drags on, when will it be the leader?Is it hard to be an old girl?

When Jia Zheng was in her room, he cried and complained a lot, and Jia Zheng became anxious, and went back and yelled at Mrs. Wang, and the small house was full of chaos.

But Aunt Zhao didn't worry too long, Sister Feng sent a letter from Ping'an Prefecture, which relieved her a lot.

Jia Lian is now the magistrate of Ping'an Prefecture, and he is also a fifth grade in size.When he was in Ping'an Prefecture, he met an acquaintance, who was also from Jingzhong. He was originally from a side line of the family, but now his family can be regarded as falling in the middle.However, this person is capable of both civil and military affairs, has a free and easy temper, and is most loyal.Previously, Zhizhou of Pingan Prefecture colluded with King Zhongzhong, and he helped Jia Lian to spread the news to Beijing.

This person's surname is Liu, and it is Liu Xianglian who ran away because of beating Xue Pan on the street that day.In theory, he is also a descendant of Liu Biao, Duke of Li.

He has made great achievements, and Jia Lian also said a lot of good things for him. He usually only matches Jia Lian's brothers, but now he finds an acquaintance around Jia Lian to do it.

This day, Jia Lian and Jia Lian broke up after drinking. When Jia Lian went back and talked about him not being married, Sister Feng thought of Tanchun.She had always liked Tanchun's shrewdness, sharpness, and sense of humor, and felt sorry for the girl who was getting older and had nowhere to go, so she told Jia Lian.

Jia Lian kept sighing and didn't care, but Sister Feng and Ping'er both spoke well of Tanchun.Sister Feng only said: "The third girl is a good one. Needless to say, she has a sharp temper and a shrewd mind. She is much better than me. Since the second master had a relationship with Liu Erye, and the marriage is done, isn't it Get closer? Besides, Second Master Liu never said anything about the third sister's character."

After thinking about it, Jia Lian still nodded, and when he told Liu Xianglian, he didn't say much, so there was a letter from Sister Feng as a matchmaker.

Mrs. Wang hated Sister Feng for not being of one mind with her, and now she came to sabotage the situation again, gritted her teeth and did not want this marriage.Aunt Zhao held Tanchun down and didn't ask her to hold her back. She stood in the yard jumping and cursing for a whole morning. Mrs. Wang was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and she almost fainted.

Now Jia Zheng sent Tanchun out earlier to save trouble, so as not to be a joke for being an old girl.

If you want to marry your daughter, you must buy a dowry.Aunt Zhao made a fuss, Mrs. Wang reluctantly collected 50 taels of silver and said to Jia Zheng privately: "It's not that I, as a mother, don't care about the child, but there are two boys, Brother Huan and Brother Lan, behind me." Woolen cloth!"

Fortunately, they bought a few necessary things now, and 50 taels of silver was more than enough.

Yingchun came and gave Tanchun a box full of clothes materials, two sets of headgear, and secretly gave Tanchun 200 taels of silver notes, and quietly told her, "Don't tell Second Aunt to see it."

Tanchun choked up and nodded, she was no better than Yingchun, at least she got out of the house when she was in Rongfu.Now in this situation, being able to get married smoothly is the best way for her.

Yingchun sighed, "Don't worry about the fourth sister, she is pretty good now."

Ningguo's house was confiscated, and the women's family members were sold into slavery.Yingchun quietly asked Daiyu to buy Xichun.Xichun's temper has been eccentric since she was a child. After this incident, although she will not be a slave, she made up her mind to cut her hair and go to practice.Sister Chun Daiyu has persuaded her, but King Xichun has made up her mind, and she can't persuade her to come back.Jiechun and Daiyu couldn't help it, so they had to send her to a nunnery where she was working hard, and they agreed to lead her to practice first.

Tanchun nodded, now she couldn't care less.Lian's second brother and his wife are matchmakers. She is going to marry in Ping'an Prefecture. First, try to establish a firm foothold. If there is a chance, then take Aunt Huan'er over.As for the fourth younger sister, with the second elder sister and elder sister Lin taking care of her, even if she was in Buddhism, she would not have suffered so much.

Li Wan thought about it for many years, and secretly gave Tanchun a hundred taels of silver because of his sister-in-law's affection for many years.Tanchun was shocked, where would he accept it?Li Wan pointed at the main room and said in a low voice: "To tell the truth, third sister, I have saved hundreds of taels of silver over the years. But this money will be of great use in the future, good sister, don't blame me for being stingy in the past!"

Say, shed tears.

How could Tanchun not know what she meant?It's just a loving mother's heart, planning for her son.

The two aunts and sisters were crying relatively.

Daiyu sent someone to deliver things again, and she didn't hide it. The woman in charge of the Anlehou Mansion stood in the courtyard and said directly: "Our wife said that we have a good relationship with the third girl here, and now she is going out. Son, our wife is not in good shape and cannot go out, these are all for the third girl to add makeup!"

Mrs. Wang looked back, and they were all jewelry and headgear.She wanted to leave something different, but finally held back—whether it is the Anlehou Mansion or the Dong'an Prince's Mansion, she can't afford to provoke her!

However, when Tanchun opened the makeup box at night to look, there was a red interlining cloth under the box containing the phoenix hairpin, which was different from other boxes.

Thinking of Daiyu's situation in Rongfu in the future, Tanchun couldn't help crying.

Aunt Zhao looked at her daughter's dowry, although it was no better than the ostentation of marrying a daughter in the Rongguo Mansion, but the current family fortune couldn't be considered more generous.

It's just that the daughter is going to Ping'an Prefecture, and whether the mother and daughter can see each other again is still unknown.Thinking of this, I cried again with embarrassment.

Tanchun took a piece of money from Yingchun's bank note and gave it to Aunt Zhao, covered her mouth with his hand, and wept softly: "Don't say no, Auntie, my daughter is gone, and tomorrow I will ask Huaner to quietly exchange the loose deposits." Let's go. It doesn't matter if it's ten taels or five taels, Auntie will keep it, it will be of great use to Huan'er in the future. If my daughter can stand there, she will find a way to pick you up."

Aunt Zhao cried: "I kept looking for trouble before, because I was afraid that the girl would forget me as a mother..."

Tanchun turned his face away from her, but tears kept falling.

No matter how reluctant Aunt Zhao was, Tanchun finally got into the car Jia Lian sent to pick her up and went to Ping'an Prefecture.

So far, the Sichun sisters in Jia's mansion, one lived in the cold palace, one married into the palace, one went away to Ping'an Prefecture, and the other practiced in Buddhism.

The springs are not scattered, and the song is not over.
