Edge of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wang only thought it was because Yingchun didn't come, and sighed: "It's her brother who hurt her." Aunt Xue knew that Mrs. Wang didn't know yet, and she couldn't help crying again. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt sad. Panicked, he said, "What's the matter? Is it..." Mrs. Wang was from a family, and she guessed it instantly.

Aunt Xue nodded and said: "The Sun family is really cruel, and the girl will be gone that afternoon."

Mrs. Wang's complexion turned pale, and she shed tears immediately, and said, "This bastard, how dare he?"

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Madam, don't be angry, such a family will suffer retribution sooner or later." As he spoke, he told Mrs. Wang one by one what he had inquired outside.

Knowing that it was Lu Huixian who made a turnaround inside, Yingchun was able to have this final dignity.Feeling a little relieved, she still treats the Lin family as a spectator.It turned out that the Sun family didn't even pay attention to the Lin family, but it's no wonder that the Sun family's best way is to play with the wind.

Aunt Xue said: "So I thought Grandma Lin was cold and indifferent, but I wrongly blamed her."

Mrs. Wang said: "If I don't talk about you, I also missed her."

Aunt Xue said: "There is one more thing. Baoqin came back a few days ago and said that Mrs. Sun was inviting a matchmaker and was going to propose to Mr. Fang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. At that time, I didn't know about welcoming the girl. I just thought she was a servant. Now Thinking about it, I'm afraid Mrs. Sun already had this intention."

Mrs. Sun had a good plan, but she didn't want to think about it. With someone like Sun Shaozu, who in a serious family would give their daughter to them?What's more, Mrs. Fang wants face the most, even if the girl didn't crawl out of her stomach, she wouldn't let the Sun family talk about it.

Mrs. Wang was about to speak, but when she heard Tanchun came back, she stopped talking and said, "That's all for us. We just wronged their sisters. How have they ever suffered so much before? But the family is in this situation, and the food and drink are all spent. My niece and daughter-in-law are helping me. Even if I have the heart, there is nothing I can do." He laughed again: "But speaking of it, compared to others, it is considered good, and finally the whole family is here."

Aunt Xue looked at Xue Baochai, who took out a purse from her sleeve and put it on the kang table.Aunt Xue pushed forward Xuxu, and said: "Pan'er is getting more and more unseemly, and I don't have any more, you take these first." Seeing that Mrs. Wang wanted to push, she said: "Don't be polite to me, either. Our sisters who are direct relatives, say those words and you will be born." The family really needed it, so Mrs. Wang didn't refuse, and handed it to Yu Chuan'er to keep it.

Because she couldn't see the colorful clouds, she asked, Mrs. Wang sighed: "We can't even support our own family now, how can we afford so many people. It's not that this child refuses to leave, I will send him away."

Thinking about her own situation, she can only use two girls now, so she nodded and said, "We are all old, what do we need so many people around?" If you get the honor in the exam, your days of happiness are yet to come."

Don't say that Baoyu is okay, but when it comes to Baoyu, Mrs. Wang's eyes are red again, but she bears it and says, "I wish I could have that day." Then she told about the lost jade.

Aunt Xue turned pale with fright, but she never expected Baoyu to be stupid.I couldn't help but looked at Xue Baochai, sighed secretly, and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll ask Pan'er to ask someone to inquire later."

Mrs. Wang nodded, not daring to put her hopes on it, but she accepted Aunt Xue's affection and said, "I want you to worry about it."

Aunt Xue patted her hand and said, "You will be born if you say that." She asked Yu Chuan'er to invite Bao Yu in.

Tan Chun brought some snacks with his own hands and placed them on the table. Hearing the words, he said: "I seem to be better today. I went to the kitchen and heard people in the kitchen say. Brother Xue came just now, and he was the one who received him. He is polite and respectful. That’s right, Big Brother Xue didn’t notice it.”

Madam Wang clasped her hands together and said: "Amitabha," she laughed and said, "It would be great if that's true." But she didn't really believe it.

When Yu Chuan'er came back, she was alone. Aunt Xue looked behind her, but no one came in. Mrs. Wang asked, "Where is Baoyu?"

Yu Chuan'er said: "I was having tea with Uncle Xue. I went to invite him, but Baoyu said that there were Sister Bao, Sister Lin and the others inside, so he wouldn't come in, so as not to conflict."

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "It's all the same flesh and blood of the whole family, so that's where it matters."

Mrs. Wang was happy, and said: "After all, it's a new year, how can it be like before? Now it seems that I really understand something."

Aunt Xue was also happy, and said: "As you get older, you will naturally become sensible, how can it be better than when you were young."

Seeing Yu Chuan'er still standing, Mrs. Wang said, "What else can I do?"

Yu Chuan'er said: "It's nothing to worry about, but when I came in, I saw Grandma Lin, Grandma Liu, and Miss Lin going to the eldest wife's side. I'm afraid they will come here soon."

Mrs. Wang said: "I see, you go outside and watch, they come out and appeal to come back immediately."

When Lu Huixian and the others came in, they had all the tea, fruit and snacks.I'm afraid that if they come out of the old lady's room, someone will see them returning to Mrs. Wang.

I haven't seen Aunt Xue for almost ninety months, and I can't help being surprised to see her this time.Aunt Xue's temples are all white, if anyone doesn't know, I'm afraid Aunt Xue is older.Both sisters' eyes were red and swollen, probably because they talked about Wang Ziteng and Yingchun.After the Wang family copied it, the news of Prince Teng's death from illness did not reach the capital, so Mrs. Wang didn't know about it.Xue Baochai has lost some weight, but nothing else can be seen.

The three greeted Mrs. Wang first, and Mrs. Wang smiled and raised her hand to signal them to get up, and said, "Have you eaten yet?"

Lu Huixian said, "I came after dinner."

As soon as Madam Wang heard this, she called Yu Chuan'er to prepare noodles for the table. Lu Huixian hurriedly said, "Don't be too busy, madam. It is true that I have used up the food. I can't eat it right now. It's better to have lunch later."

In fact, everyone knew that Mother Jia must have prepared meals, but it was hard for Lu Huixian to say otherwise, otherwise Aunt Xue would make it difficult for her.But as an aunt, Mrs. Wang would have wronged her niece and niece if she didn't prepare meals.Therefore, Aunt Xue asked Jia Mu, "How is the old lady? I should have gone to see the old lady first. I heard that the old lady is not well. She is resting and dare not disturb her."

Lu Huixian said: "The doctor has looked at it, one is a little weak, and the other is overly sad. I have prescribed medicine, let's see how it goes."

Aunt Xue sighed: "It's all Feng girls who are not blessed. Such a good family, and the old lady loves her so much, why would she do such stupid things." Then she started crying, and while crying, she said: "Although there is a mistake, it is not a crime to die. No one blames her, why can't she think about it. I can't blame the old lady for being sad. We can't stand it after hearing it. She is only too old."

As soon as she cried, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it at first, so she began to cry too. Lu Huixian and others also wiped away tears, and all the maids who served underground were also sad.It's better for Tanchun to slow down first and persuade Mrs. Wang, saying, "Madam, don't be sad, your body is important." Then he said Baochai, and said, "Sister Bao also persuades Auntie." Li Wan also came to his senses and hurriedly persuaded Lu Huixian three indivual.

Mrs. Wang stopped her tears, and said to Lu Huixian three: "My good boy, if you remember, Feng girl didn't live in vain." She also said: "Your aunt told me about the second girl just now, thank you With you all being considerate inside, otherwise, I don’t know how to be abused. The old lady didn’t agree with the Sun’s family back then, but she couldn’t persuade the old man to agree. It really didn’t work out in the end, but thinking about their young couple, it will get better gradually. Who would have thought it was such a thing. If I knew, I would have persuaded the old lady to regret this relationship. Although the second girl is a girl from the big house, I watched her grow up. She is so young. ..." Speaking of Yingchun, tears came down again, "Caifeng girl has gone, the old lady is already like this, if you know, wouldn't you be so heartbroken. The old lady still has to hide it. After a while, I will watch it again Tell it slowly."

Lu Huixian said: "That's what I thought. I wanted to wait until Lian's second sister-in-law's funeral was over, and let the wives know first." Xue's family didn't go to such a big event, so Lu Huixian didn't expect Aunt Xue Will find this way.

Mrs. Wang took Lu Huixian's hand and said, "Thanks to your thoughtfulness, child." Then she asked how Yingchun died and how to send it.

Yingchun is a girl from Jia's family, so there's no need to hide it. Lu Huixian came together and said, "I'm keeping it in the Mantou Temple."

There were people from Jia's mother's side who came to invite them, and there was no reason why they all invited one family and not the other. Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also went to the upper room together.

Aunt Xue is also very interesting. She knows that Mother Jia doesn't like them, and she didn't stay for dinner. He didn't even stay with Xue Baochai, but sent Tanchun to accompany him.

Here Jia Mu smiled and said to Lu Huixian three times: "I just talked to my old in-laws. They eat on the kang. Anyway, there are only a few of us girls. We don't have outsiders. Let's learn from them. Yesterday It rained a lot in the evening, so it's very cold today, but it's better to stay warm on the kang." Naturally, they had nothing to do, and when they saw that Jia's mother was interested, they all nodded in agreement.

Several people took off their shoes and got on the kang. Jiamu was in the middle of the north, with Daiyu on her left and Lu Huixian on her right. Zhang Feng'e sat next to Lu Huixian, and Xichun sat next to Daiyu.

Grandma Liu refused to go to the kang, and Mother Jia asked repeatedly, but she didn't respond. She expected that she would be uncomfortable, so she didn't force her, and ordered the maids to carry Zhang Fangji to the kang. sit down.

When Li Wan placed the chopsticks, Lu Huixian pulled her and said, "Sister-in-law also come up."

Li Wan was about to refuse, when Jia Mu said, "Aside from these people, who else is here? You have been busy all morning, and you also sit down to eat some hot soup." Li Wan took off his shoes and got on the kang.

Mother Jia asked Daiyu to sit next to her, Xichun moved over, Li Wan sat in Xichun's place, and several servant girls waited on the ground.

Before the food was served, taking advantage of the gap, Lu Huixian explained why Mrs. Chen didn't come, saying: "There is still a happy event that I haven't told the old lady. Our second mother is happy. It's just not safe, otherwise, I will come today too .”
