You're Crossing the Red Mansions

Xichun followed Yindie to Hefengyuan.She grew up in the West Mansion since she was a child, and she seldom went back to the East Mansion. Except for the New Year's Day worship, and occasionally coming with her aunts, she had never seen any other places except the ancestral hall and the garden.Walking along this meandering road, you can see that the vegetation is neatly trimmed everywhere, and thousands of flowers are blooming. Compared with living in a small hut every day, and not even seeing a scene, it is really heaven and earth.When we arrived at Hefengyuan, there were a few maids waiting at the door. When we saw them, we first saluted in a proper manner, and then followed them into the inner courtyard.

Xichun went in and took a closer look, all the decorations were as new, curtains and quilts, vases, incense tripods, harps and chess tables were all available, it was the boudoir of a rich lady.What's more rare is that there are still several paintings hanging in the room, and the others are fine. The "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" in the middle is a rare one. Looking inward again, I saw a single study room facing south. A carved mahogany table with a length of more than ten feet and a width of more than five feet stood in front of my eyes. Snow wave paper, the colorful glazed ball paperweight shines brightly under the sunlight.Standing next to it is a small rosewood cabinet, with about thirty drawers, inlaid with exquisite brass handles, and the outside is classified and pasted with details. They are vermilion, gray rattan, bright yellow, etc. Xichun knew that this was the The paint cabinet is often mentioned in painting books.Yindie stepped forward to open a red sandalwood cabinet against the west wall, and saw that it was full of other painting tools. On the top were several painting books, including 76 kinds of orchids, mountains and rivers, etc. Xichun took them down casually. , just nestled on the rose chair and looked with relish.

Seeing that she was studying hard, Yindie went out quietly, closed the door behind her, and told the maids to serve them with tea and snacks, and then went to Ningxixuan to talk to the grandma.Upstairs Mrs. Xing was happy to see it, and Yingchun was by her side. The mother and daughter occasionally exchanged a few words, the plot was moving towards the beauty of the drama, and so on. Mrs. Xing likes it even more.You Xiaoxiao intentionally left space for their mother and daughter, but also wanted to be courteous. She just asked the kitchen to deliver all kinds of fresh snacks. Seeing that she was busy, Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "Sit down quickly, girls, just smile and eat and drink." It doesn't matter." You Xiaoxiao said again: "It's rare for my wife to show her face today, so let's go after dinner." Mrs. Xing lived at ease, so there was no reluctance in her heart, and seeing Yingchun by her side, after making out for a while, she went Asked: "Second girl, your sister-in-law is staying with us for dinner, do you want to play for a while or go back?" Yingchun quickly said that she wanted to play for a while.But in my heart I was so excited that I wanted to cry. When did Mrs. Xing care about her so much and ask her a sentence.You Xiaoxiao saw that their mother and daughter got along quite effectively, and saw Yindie blinking beside her, so she smiled and said: "I'll excuse you for a while, let's go to the kitchen to see dinner, it's rare for the eldest lady to come, so you have to prepare well."

Xichun was also born with a kind of dullness. She didn't look up for a long time after reading the picture book, and only thought about drinking tea when she was thirsty. When she left the studio, she was just about to order when she saw a bright and beautiful girl coming over with a tea tray: "Girl, this is the new tea." The brewed maple dew tea has already turned its color several times, it's time to drink it." Xichun looked at her carefully, took the teacup, and was about to ask her name, but saw her sister-in-law coming in with a silver butterfly, and couldn't help but He stood up, his face flushed red.

"Is this tea good?" You Xiaoxiao took her hand and sat down, said with a smile: "Your brother heard that you are coming today, and specially asked the girl to prepare it." Xichun murmured: "Thank you, brother." You Xiaoxiao He laughed again: "This is your future house. If you see something wrong, I'll have someone change it right away." Compared to the shabby and simple place in Xifu, this place is naturally like a fairyland. Is Xichun still young? , I wanted to pretend to be more reserved, but I couldn't help but utter the truth: "Sister-in-law, I've never seen such a nice house." Not only is it nice, but it's also considerate, and she looked at You Xiaoxiao even more sincerely: "The old lady loves sister Lin so much, and she didn't prepare such a good house. My sister-in-law and brother love me, and I understand it in my heart." Hearing her say this, You Xiaoxiao only felt sad. Who said she was young and ignorant, The younger the child, the more he sees things.

"Miss, it's always my fault with your brother... Your brother is careless, and I am careless. If I knew that my sister was suffering in that mansion, I should have brought you back..." You Xiaoxiao said , Wept half-truthfully.Xichun thought about the hardships of life for so many years and cried along with her.Yindie was watching, seeing that she was almost crying, she hurried up to persuade her.You Xiaoxiao asked tentatively while wiping away her tears: "Your sister will stay tonight?" Xichun was really looking forward to it, but she didn't know how to tell Mrs. Xing, besides, whether Mrs. Xing dared to make the decision is another matter .The old ancestor was the best at saving face, so he took him out during the day, but suddenly Bala stayed at home at night, so what he said outside must not be listened to, and it would be even more difficult to deal with after offending her.

Seeing Xichun's embarrassing expression, Yindie laughed and said, "Madam, is she afraid that Madam won't allow her? The servant girl has a bold idea, she just said that Madam has caught a cold, and at this time she needs to see a doctor, Madam is not good at all." Just force it and go." You Xiaoxiao is also thinking about this matter, after hearing this, there is no way out, if it is not for pretending to be sick, seriously, Mrs. Xing would not dare to let Xichun stay, pretending like this As for the reason, she also explained to the old lady when she went back, so she probably just got away with it.So everyone discussed and decided, You Xiaoxiao called a few more girls and asked them to kowtow one by one, pointing to the girl who brought tea to Xichun, who was called a painter, and said: "This is the girl in charge of Hefengyuan, I picked them all to serve my younger sister, and I can do whatever I want." Xichun agreed, and all the girls were also smart, and they wanted to wait for her to lie down, but Xichun was puzzled, You Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "What should the eldest lady do if she wants to come to see you?" Lie down wronged first, and I will ask them to bring you dinner." Because she wanted to change clothes, she opened the box that had been smoked with orange blossoms, and Xichun couldn't help but widen her eyes. Now, You Xiaoxiao saw her in a daze and smiled: "You wear these first, and there are new ones later, and I don't know what color you like, so I picked up the colors suitable for your little girls and made a set of each, and the styles are also popular. It’s a new style, so you girls must be greedy for novelties.” Then, he took a set of pearl white tunics and sent her to change them himself, and gave some instructions before leaving.

After returning to Ningxixuan, Mrs. Xing sat closer and closer to Yingchun. You Xiaoxiao didn't want to disturb her watching the show, so she frowned after the show was over, "Si Miss just ate a few pieces of cold fruit, but she didn't like it." It's diarrhea, I just sent the doctor to look at it, and I'm still lying down." Mrs. Xing heard this, fearing that Jia's mother would blame her for not taking good care of her, so she hurried to see her, but You Xiaoxiao stopped her and said, "Her child is not worthy of my wife's behavior. Don't worry, I asked a few big maids to guard. Besides, the doctor is here, I'm afraid it will be fine after taking the medicine." Mrs. Xing just gave up, and then said: "I told Yinger just now, why is the fourth girl missing? But she is sick, sorry to see you, fortunately, you are my own sister-in-law watching over her." You Xiaoxiao heard that she had changed from a second girl to a Yinger, and she also admired Yingchun's strength in her heart.

After watching the play for half a day, the dusk fell, You Xiaoxiao took Mrs. Xing and Yingchun to look at Xichun who was sleeping on the couch, the room was filled with a smell of medicine, Mrs. Xing whispered when she saw that she was sleeping soundly Said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the West Mansion like this, but you need to spend more time." You Xiaoxiao took them out and sighed: "Who knew it could be so powerful, that's all, just rest here for two days Let's go." Yingchun saw He Fengyuan's furnishings, and she only felt envious in her heart, and then she thought about how Xichun was in good health, but suddenly fell ill, it was just strange, after thinking about it, she understood, and then thinking about her own brother and relatives Sister-in-law, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, but on the surface she followed Mrs. Xing even closer.

The dinner was served in the small kitchen of Xinlan Courtyard. Mrs. Xing praised it repeatedly, saying that she had never eaten such delicious food.You Xiaoxiao then said that she would copy the menu with her, and that the wife would come if she wanted to.You Xiaoxiao ordered another jar of Qiulubai to eat with Mrs. Xing to the fullest.Yingchun was still young, so she was accompanied by Sherbet.After she was full of wine and food, Mrs. Xing said goodbye and went back. Because it was late at night, You Xiaoxiao didn't want to keep her. She picked up Mrs. Xing's favorite snacks at the banquet and saved up four big boxes for her to take back, and then sent them straight to the carriage. Taking the big girl's hand and holding the aunt by the side, Mrs. Xing was very satisfied this day. Before leaving, she smiled and said: "Brother Zhen and daughter-in-law, it's hard work to disturb you all day." You Xiaoxiao laughed hurriedly "Where is this? I can't ask the eldest wife to come, but the wife is willing to show her face." Then he said: "Second Miss, take good care of your wife. Please forgive me and send her away." Yingchun nodded and turned to Mrs. Xing said: "Mother, be careful where you step..." Although Mrs. Xing was half drunk and a little confused, when she heard Yingchun calling her mother, her heart immediately became warm.
