Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue

He changed his clothes and coaxed Xue Qiu to sleep.Xiao Ning was wearing a green calyx plum cloak with a white background and leaned on the kang, flipping through a book in his hand, looking out the door from time to time with only one eye.

"Ma'am, let's have some snacks. It depends on how much you use for dinner." Cailu said softly as she brought the porridge.

Xiao Ning took it back with a smile, then looked Cailu up and down.He lowered his head to scoop up the porridge, and said, "Zi'er is nineteen this year, right?"

Cailu slowed down her hands, tilted her head slightly and said, "It seems to be nineteen. I didn't ask carefully, I don't know exactly."

"Well, since Zi'er is nineteen, you who are three years older than her should be 22." Regardless of Cailu's stiff body, she continued: "I also missed you. If you didn't follow me, you don't have to stay there." Six years of filial piety. Maybe your children can already run away now."

Cailu turned around and knelt down on the ground when she heard the words, "What my wife said really made me feel ashamed. Zi'er and I were able to serve my wife because it was a blessing in my previous life. Besides, I don't want to marry, either. I will serve my wife for the rest of my life."

Xiao Xiao smiled and got up to help her up, "Get up, how are you? I know it well. Our daughter's family will eventually get married and have children." Pulling Cailu to the kang, she patted her hand, and then Said: "If you stay with me, I will make you depend on for the rest of your life." Even though she said so, Xue Ning sighed in her heart.Most modern 22-year-old girls are still in college.Only the girls here are 22 unmarried?But it is difficult.

Just as he was thinking, Xue Qian stepped in with his body covered in moisture.

"It's raining outside? Why don't you ask someone to hold an umbrella for you, what should you do if you catch a cold?" Xue Ning said worriedly while unbuttoning the azurite-colored cloak.

"It's okay, it's only a few steps away." After roasting by the stove for a while, he hugged Xiao Ning when he was warm, and said, "I asked someone to choose a good day for my second brother, which will be on the eighth day of the next lunar month. You are tired these days Some, let's hurry up."

Xue Ning, who was unbuttoning Xue Qian's button, suddenly raised her head and said in surprise, "I will marry my second brother on the eighth day of next month? I'm already seventeen, how can I make it on the 21st?" Shaking his head, "No, who will this second brother marry? I don’t even know about the girl in my family, how can I deal with it? What about the eldest sister? I’m still in the fog until now, how can I know anyone from her family.”

"Don't worry, I'm just going to tell you." He took the dry clothes from Xue Ning's hand and changed them, and said, "The one who exchanged the Geng Tie with the second brother is the second girl from the Li family in Dongcheng. Come here, do you remember?"

Hearing this, Xue Ning hurriedly recalled the girls from various prefectures she had seen during the banquet.It took a while before I remembered that Nanny Lin had specially introduced her to her that day.It was a tall, fair and pretty girl, dressed in a lake-colored grass-green wide-brimmed jacket, and she smiled shyly.

Yin said: "What do I say? Why did Nanny Lin specially introduce me to a girl's family who has not left the court, so that's what happened. The eldest sister?"

"Speaking of which, this matter is also related to that Miss Li."

"Could it be that we met on the day when I became a filial piety?" Sui shook his head, "It shouldn't be. On the day of filial piety, how could the outsider enter the inner courtyard?"

Xue Qian narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Naturally, outsiders are not allowed to enter. What if the girl's family leaves the inner courtyard by herself?" Patting the shocked Xue Ning, he continued: "Second Miss Li and the eldest sister have been close since childhood. On weekdays, I often communicate with my second sister by letter. And the man we saw today is the cousin of Miss Li's second."

It turned out that Xue Yu was not young, so he was anxious.There are some things that are not easy to tell the family members, so I tell Miss Li Er.It was just that the girls' families were exchanging things in their boudoirs, but the second girl Li wanted to introduce her cousin to her eldest sister.

Miss Li's cousin is Zheng Wenbo, who is turning [-] this year, and comes from a farming and studying family.There is only one small courtyard in the family, [-] acres of Susukida, and no other permanent property.

Zheng Wenbo was selected as a scholar when he was sixteen, which is considered to be some talent.It is said that he can be selected as a scholar on the [-]th, and there will be many people who propose marriage.Although he has some talents and learning, he is a proud person.He thought that none of the family of the pro-professor was worthy of him, so he never agreed.

As soon as Xue Ning heard what Xue Qian said, she understood what kind of person this Zheng Wenbo was.Even with that, he was quite displeased with the girl from the Li family.Frowning, he said, "Didn't the old lady decide for the second younger brother a scholarly family? Which educated girl would do such a thing? What should I do now? Such a person? The eldest sister, she ?”

"You don't need to worry. The daughter of the Li family is a marriage that the wife took care of the second brother before she died. The mother's fate is not worth mentioning, and I can't do it. As for Zheng Wenbo, I have my own way to prevent him from appearing in Jinling again. I have already delayed Xue Qian and the elders of the Wang family will help to see if there is a suitable person, and at the end of the year, the eldest sister will be married as well."

Xue Ning thought for a while, "Will this be too rushed?" Xue Xun is a man, so it's easy to handle.Xue Yu is a girl's family, making clothes and jewelry, which doesn't take time.Just thinking about it again, Xue Yu might not be able to keep her in the current situation.Then she nodded again and said: "The old lady prepared a lot of dowry for the eldest sister, and I will order my servants to work overtime to catch up. It will not be a problem at the end of the year. But, you have to find a good family for the eldest sister."

"You treat me as cruel, after all, I watched her grow up, and I will find a good one for her before she gets married."

"That's good. Since the brothers and sisters are all going to get married at the end of the year, why don't we hold a few more weddings to wash away the haze of our Xue family?"

"What else is there to celebrate?"

Xiao Xiao glanced at him, "We have been mourning for six years, and the people below are not with us. Now that many of them are getting old, how can we delay any longer."

Xue Qian then reacted, nodded and said: "Very well, there have been a lot of things recently, but I forgot about it." After meditating for a while, he said: "There are a few managers around me who are good, just look at it. Some of them are satisfactory, and I have matched a few pairs. And Baizhi, after all, I have been serving me since I was a child, so you can help me to see."

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out." Xiao Xiao replied with a smile.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and the servants of Xue's family are busy in full swing.

In Zhiyinqiu courtyard, Xue Yu was lying on the bed with a pale face, weakly said: "Why can't I be with him, if my brother and sister-in-law disagree, I will never eat."

Xue Qian's body trembled from Xue Yu's anger, even Xue Ning and Xue Xun frowned.

Xue Qian pulled his fist in, restrained the anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "You are nineteen years old, and you are not young. What is Zheng Wenbo's family situation? Zheng Wenbo's personality? I believe your sister-in-law will explain it to you. I only ask the last question. Again, do you still want to marry him?"

Xue Yu's dim eyes suddenly shone with an incomparable look, and he said firmly, "I am willing to marry Brother Zheng. I have no regrets in this life."

Xue Qian nodded, turned and left.Xiao Xiao shook her head, and said to Xue Yu who was smiling like a spring flower: "Hurry up and drink porridge, so that you can have the strength to embroider the dowry." After saying that, she turned and went back to Nuanchunyuan.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the sky was beautiful, and the sky was finally sunny after being overcast for a long time.After blowing and beating, he finally welcomed Miss Li into the door.

Xue Ning, who was too busy to touch the ground, was busy with Xue Yu's marriage before she could sit down and rest.

When Mrs. Xue left, she left a dowry for Xue Yu.Xiao Xiao glanced at it a few times, and it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.Someone repainted the furniture, and then fried the jewelry, and it was as good as new.And let the shop under the door send a lot of fresh cloth jewelry nowadays, add it in, and the full 48-carrying dowry will be completed.

November [-]th was Xue Yu's big day.Looking at the shy Xue Yu in front of the dressing table, Xue Ning sighed softly, then smiled and said, "Sister, remember what sister-in-law told you last night, and never forget." The money was given to Xue Yu.Thinking that she was Xue Qian's younger sister after all, she confessed that she must hold tight to her dowry.I was worried for a while, so I confessed again.

After seeing off the crying Xue Yu and everyone who came to drink, Xue Ning rubbed her temples and went back to Nuanchun Courtyard to rest, saying: "I hope she won't regret it later."

It was so easy to deal with the affairs of the younger siblings at home, Xue Ning let down her mind, and fell asleep on the soft couch.

Youyou woke up, saw Xue Qian sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her, and smiled: "Why are you here?"

"What's more, do you know how long you have slept? You have slept for a full day and night, and no one can wake you up." Seeing that Xiao Ning was about to get up, he hurriedly stopped him: "Lie down and don't move, you have also been a mother You’re so sick, you don’t even know you’re happy? Fortunately, the doctor said you’re just tired, and you’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”

Xue Ning suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Am I happy?" Feeling her belly unsurely, Xiao Xiao didn't know whether to be sad or happy.One thing after another these days, how can I control this.

"That's not it." Xue Qian said with joy in his eyes.Raising his hand to caress Xiao Xiao's belly, he said softly: "This time we want a sister, okay?"

Xue Ning smiled, thinking that she might disappoint you, this baby should be Xue Pan.
