You're Crossing the Red Mansions

Chapter 20 Spring Feast Flower Appreciation

Because of the previous incident, Jia Zhen was not as active as before in front of Xifu, but You Xiaoxiao was very interested in discussing with him where to put wine, where to watch a play, etc. Seeing that he was still bored, she said they A few came, so there was no need for him to come forward, besides, He Fengxuan had already cleaned up, so Xichun must be satisfied when he comes back.Jia Zhenfang cheered up. Although he secretly hated Sister Feng for taking advantage of it, but because the old lady was there, there was only such an old prince in the clan, and he had to do it in order to save the face of his ancestors.The husband and wife drew up a banquet troupe, so they wrote a post and sent it to the housekeeper.

In the West Mansion, Baoyu became ill because of Qin Zhong's death and became depressed. He yelled like this, feeling that something was wrong but he didn't dare to speak out.Because I was confused by the fever, I didn't dare to hide it. I told the old lady, and then took everyone to take care of it.When Jia's mother heard that Baoyu was ill, she suddenly felt that the sky had collapsed. She invited the imperial physician to consult and prescribe medicine.Mrs. Wang looked at her son's pale face, and saw her mother-in-law taking care of him, and she couldn't help herself. She felt wronged and distressed, so she shed tears.When Jia Mu saw her crying, she felt that she was unlucky, and she wanted to discipline her, but because of a group of girls, she wanted to save face for her, so she had no choice but to say calmly: "It's been a cold spring for the past few days, and I have a cold for a while. It's no big deal. You don't have to." Cry." Mrs. Wang heard her mother-in-law's displeasure, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and watched quietly together.At this time, the post from the West Mansion came in, and Zhou Rui's family said that the uncle and grandma of the East Mansion had invited the old lady, wife, grandma, and girls to enjoy the flowers.

Seeing Baoyu like this, Jia's mother is not in the mood. Besides, Youshi usually comes to deliver posts in person. Now she just sends someone to say something, and she feels unhappy. First she said that she would not go, and then she said to Mrs. Wang: "Ask your sister-in-law, and then ask the girls, if anyone wants to go, just lift up the sedan chair and go together." Mrs. Wang replied quickly, she naturally didn't want to go, but she had to send people to ask around.Mrs. Xing is the first one who likes to be lively and take advantage of it. Besides, she is holding her breath in the side room every day. It is better to go out for a stroll, and she can talk to Zhen's brother and daughter-in-law again, so it is a must.Xichun said it without hesitation, and was very happy.As for the others, Li Wan heard that Baoyu was ill, so her mother-in-law and grand-in-law did not go. Although she had a good relationship with Youshi and wanted to go to relax, she did not dare to go. Maybe what to say behind his back.Yingchun is very homely by nature and doesn't want to go, but Si Qi wants to play, so she hurriedly urged her, but she couldn't resist, and finally agreed.Tanchun had a lot of eyes, knowing that Baoyu's aunt would not go because of illness, she quickly refused to go, and looked around Baoyu's room several times.Needless to say, Sister Feng knew that Mrs. You didn't want to see her, so she didn't want to make this embarrassing.Zhou Rui's family thought about it, and went to Lixiangyuan specially to please Mrs. Wang, because Xiangling, the gatekeeper, said that Aunt Xue and Baochai had gone to Baoyu's house, so they gave up.

On March 25, the weather was fine, and the peach blossoms in the gardens of Ningguo Mansion were in full bloom, mixed with other flowers of various colors, creating a splendid spring scene.Mrs. Xing came happily with Yingchun and Xichun. When You Xiaoxiao saw her, she was surprised at first. Later, she sat down with Mrs. Xing and had tea and found out why. It turned out that Baoyu was ill, so it was no wonder who came so sparse.But this is just right, she is more welcome to see these three, and it is convenient to talk.They sent people to Xifu to see Baoyu, and then sent the ladies to Ningxixuan to see the whole garden from the tall building, which has a special flavor.You Xiaoxiao took everyone to sit down, served delicate snacks and fruit tea first, and then said with a smile: "The wind is still cold these days, why don't we girls just watch the scenery here, and there is a small show outside, serious It's from the Hui class, and they sing very well." Mrs. Xing was delighted when she heard it.She usually likes to listen to operas the most, but with Jia Mu, she has to order some humorous and lively dramas, such as Liu Er's clothes, which are very vulgar. Today she is here, sitting in the middle, exactly where Jia Mu used to be, and in her heart If you can't be straightforward, she smiled and said: "Bring me the list, I'll order two good shows for you to watch." As soon as You Xiaoxiao saw that she was proud, she knew that there were no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys ruled the world. The upright Duchess is usually suppressed by the second room, and she felt sorry for her, so she handed over the thick play list and said with a smile: "My sisters and I are enjoying a good time, and we will listen to some good ones with my wife. Gain insight." After saying that, he winked at Xichun again.

Xichun is smart and knows that sister-in-law wants her to photograph Mrs. Xing.If she wants to take the opportunity to live in the East Mansion today, she needs Madam Xing's permission.So he also laughed and said: "I don't like the dramas that the second wife usually orders, but the first lady ordered good ones." Yingchun was listening to her being so outspoken, so she quickly glanced at her.Mrs. Xing was overjoyed when she heard Xichun berate Mrs. Wang, she hadn't noticed Miss Si's eyesight so long ago.So she clicked five or six in one breath, You Xiaoxiao looked at them, they were all gardeners and West Wings, and because they were concerned about unmarried girls, they all chose some vague and poetic jokes, You Xiaoxiao lamented that Mrs. Xing had an immortal girl Heart, while giving the list to Yingchun.The second girl is honest and knows how to please her mother-in-law, so she chooses a section about swinging on the wall immediately. Xichun is young, but she wants to see Du Shiniang sink the treasure chest in anger.Once the play is ready, it will start with a clang.Mrs. Xing satisfies the old Feng Jun's addiction, and Guo'er waits on her side by side without leaking water.You Xiaoxiao also served refreshments with a smile on her face.

Yindie stood behind Xichun and secretly tugged at her clothes, Xichun understood, and after two plays, she pretended to have a stomachache and went downstairs.You Xiaoxiao quickly said: "Yindie, you follow the girl and take good care of it." Turning around, she saw Yingchunmu staring blankly at the table, she had already been in the air, she sighed deeply, and moved over to sit with her.No matter how much Yingchun stays, she knows how to socialize: "I'm going to trouble sister-in-law Zhen today." You Xiaoxiao caught a glance at Gu Xichun just now, and knew that the second girl was actually forced by the situation, so she pretended to be honest.So she said in a low voice: "Second sister, although you are living with the old lady now, you should visit your wife often anyway, after all, it's your mother, so it's not good for her birth." Thinking of the money she gave, she lowered her head and said, "I... also know..." But Mrs. Xing's left-handedness is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.You Xiaoxiao also knows her difficulties, but now she is always being bullied like this, and even the smartest child will be worn out.I had to call again: "You are my wife's daughter, and you don't often stick to it, but do you want your wife to stick to you? The days are long, and the stone man is warming up. You are always filial. If there is anything else to do, let's talk about it." Jiao'er, my wife is willing to stand up for you, isn't she?" In the original book, the reason why the servants dare to bully Yingchun is because she has no backer besides her weak character.She is the daughter of the first room, and she is not close to Madam Xing, and the second room's Mrs. Wang naturally doesn't care too much. The sister-in-law, Sister Feng, doesn't have such a close sister-in-law at all in her eyes.Although Mrs. Xing lost her position, she was Mrs. Dafang after all, and Sister Feng had to listen carefully to what she said, let alone the servants.She had no children, and Yingchun's aunt died young, so she was a good mother and daughter. If Yingchun was half as smart as Tanchun, at least self-protection would not be a problem, let alone end up in such a lonely place.

After hearing You Xiaoxiao's words, Yingchun fell silent.You Xiaoxiao said again: "Your nanny is greedy for money, you can't come forward to kick him out, beg the eldest lady, and just say a word, can't you kick him out?" , brought the two daughters-in-law in to be mothers-in-law, and almost took away all the valuables of Yingchun. If it wasn't for the shrewdness of playing chess, usually remember to lock the cage, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the year.Seeing that she seemed to have realized something, You Xiaoxiao pointed to a plate of yam cake with jujube paste on the table, Yingchun glanced at her, saw her nodding encouragingly, took a deep breath, stepped forward and walked towards Mrs. Xing .

Mrs. Xing came to the East Mansion, and she was in a good mood when she saw everyone flocking to her. The opera sung on the stage was also her favorite. The expression is timid, but the meaning of flattery is ready to come out.When she first married, she wanted to take good care of her ex's son and concubine, but she was chilled later.Jia Amnesty's temper is not good, Jia Lian has always been alienated, and Yingchun is a piece of wood.Going on like this in a vicious circle, and seeing the second room full of children, even the concubine's daughters are devoted to the aunt, I am very envious.Today is the right time and place, Mrs. Xing thought to herself, Yingchun is an introverted child, but he is not impolite. Seeing that he can accompany me to the East Mansion today, he also knows that he is filial to bring snacks, so she put on her face. Just put on a smile: "Don't patronize me, your sister-in-law Zhen makes good dim sum here, you should try it too."
